Original Story:
Former Penn State football defensive end Arnold Ebiketie has been traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Cincinnati Bengals, according to ESPN insider Ian Rapoport.
The Bengals are sending a 2027 sixth-round pick in return for Ebiketie.
Ebiketie was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
The 27-year-old appeared in all nine of the Eagles’ games so far this season, totaling 25 tackles. Now he heads to Cincinnati, joining fellow Nittany Lions Mike Gesicki and Mitchell Tinsley. Sean Clifford is also in Cincinnati, on the Bengals’ practice squad.
Ebiketie is the second former Penn State player to be traded during this NFL regular season. Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Dallas Cowboys after Week 3.
Ebiketie transferred to Penn State from Temple prior to the 2021-22 season. He recorded 62 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, and 9.5 sacks in his lone season with the Nittany Lions.
