Khalil Herbert is expected to make his Bengals debut against the Ravens.

Khalil Herbert just joined the Bengals a couple of days ago, but he’s ready to prepare for this week’s game.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Herbert is expected to make his Cincinnati debut tonight against Baltimore.

Herbert, 26, fell out of Chicago’s rotation before being traded before the trade deadline. This year he has had just eight carries for 16 yards with a touchdown and caught two passes for 4 yards. Last season, Herbert totaled 745 yards from scrimmage, 611 yards on the ground and 20 catches for 134 yards.

The Bengals needed a running back with Zack Moss sidelined with a neck injury.

Quarterback Joe Burrow said that if necessary, he can lean over and tell Herbert what to do in the backfield before the snap.

Kickoff between the Bengals and Ravens is set for 8:15 p.m. ET.
