Bengals DT McKinnley Jackson requests trade or release amid defensive struggles.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson, a 2024 third-round pick, has requested a trade or release, joining linebacker Logan Wilson and defensive tackle Mike Pennel in seeking moves. Jackson, who has played just six snaps this season and missed six games, is part of a broader defensive roster shakeup amid the team’s struggling defense, which ranks near the bottom in key categories. The NFL trade deadline is November 4.
