Cincinnati Bengals defensive backs Bralyn Lux and Russ Yeast were elevated from the team's practice squad to the active roster ahead of an NFL Week 4 meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars at Paycor Stadium,
the team announced.
Lux and Yeast both are classified as standard elevations. As practice squad players elevated to the active roster for the game, they automatically revert to the practice squad on Monday.
The Bengals placed defensive back Jalen Davis, who suffered a hamstring injury during a Week 3 loss to Pittsburgh, on injured reserve.
In addition, cornerback DJ Turner II was limited in practice during the week with an ankle injury, per the team's injury report. Safety Kyle Dugger is out with a quad injury, and safety Bryan Cook is listed as questionable with an ankle injury.
Yeast spent the 2025 season on the Bengals' practice squad, after being waived by the Houston Texans at the end of the preseason.
A seventh-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 2022, Yeast played in 32 games with nine starts over his first two NFL seasons. He's also played for Carolina and Houston.
Yeast played four seasons at Louisville and one season at Kansas State.
Yeast's father, Craig Yeast, was a fourth-round pick of the Bengals in 1999 who played receiver for Cincinnati for two seasons.
Lux spent most of his rookie season on the Bengals' practice squad. He played in two games, making three tackles.
Lux signed with the Bengals in May 2025 as a college free agent.
Lux played five seasons of college football, at Fresno State and Texas Tech.
