Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Zach Carter (95) warms up before the NFL game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the San Francisco 49ers at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Oct 29, 2023.

Former Cincinnati Bengals third-round pick Zach Carter didn't need long to find a new home in the NFL after the team cut him earlier this month.

He also didn't need long to ascend to the active 53-man roster.

The Las Vegas Raiders announced roster moves this week, which included signing Carter from the practice squad to the active roster.

Carter, a third-round pick in 2022, got some career-high snap counts earlier this year while rookies McKinnley Jackson and Kris Jenkins Jr. battled injuries and veterans Sheldon Rankins and B.J. Hill did the same. Once they returned, the Bengals cut Carter.

Beyond the latest example of the Bengals missing on notable draft picks, Cincinnati happens to play the Raiders in just two weeks in Week 9.
