The Cincinnati Bengals, with two cornerbacks now lost for the season, claimed former Patriot Marco Wilson off the waiver wire on Tuesday.

Wilson, a 2021 fourth-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals, joined the Patriots in 2023 after the team claimed him off waivers in December.

The Bengals, who are on a bye week, had lost Dax Hill earlier in the year, and learned this week that DJ Turner had also suffered a season-ending injury. So they were desperate for cornerback help.

Wilson was used as the team’s top backup outside cornerback. He’d typically split snaps with veteran Jonathan Jones.

Wilson saw action for the Patriots most recently against the Los Angles Rams on Sunday. He had some trouble keeping Puka Nacua at bay, allowing two catches for 46 yards.

Wilson, who is 25, has played in 54 career games with 37 starts in the NFL. Overall he amassed three interceptions, with 19 passes defensed and three forced fumbles.

This season playing in 10 games with New England, he registered 15 tackles. He also had one pass defensed.
