The Cincinnati Bengals have officially signed cornerback Jalen Davis to a one-year contract extension for the 2026 NFL season, the team announced on Friday. Davis previously announced the news through his agency on Instagram earlier this week.

In addition, the Bengals have re-signed running back Kendall Milton to a one-year deal for the 2026 season
