Bengals' Stanley Morgan: Finishes 2022 without reception
Rotowire
Morgan played five snaps on offense and 21 on special teams in Sunday's 27-16 win over the Ravens, accruing no statistics during the contest.
Morgan saw snaps on offense during all 14 of his appearances of the regular season, but never more than 10 on any occasion. He drew just one incomplete target over that stretch to finish without a reception for the season. Morgan will likely continue to see most of his playing time on special teams during Cincinnati's upcoming playoff run.

Bengals' Stanley Morgan: Remains sidelined Thursday
Rotowire
Morgan did not practice due to a hamstring injury Thursday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Morgan popped up as a non-participant during practice last Thursday and Friday before missing his first game of the season in Sunday's win over the Falcons. While the severity of this issue is still unclear, the 26-year-old may be at risk of missing his second contest in a row this Monday against Cleveland. Morgan failed to haul in his lone target while playing 25 offensive snaps so far this season, though he could see increased usage with top wideout Ja'Marr Chase expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a hip injury.

Bengals' Stanley Morgan: Plays early in preseason finale
Rotowire
Morgan caught one of two targets for 32 yards in Saturday's 16-7 preseason win over the Rams.
The first pass thrown Morgan's way was an incompletion on the opening drive, but it was a good sign for his standing on the depth chart that he was used early in the game. Morgan then opened the second possession with a 32-yard catch. He's likely to remain on the team in a depth role when the Bengals trim their roster down to 53 players for the regular season.

Bengals' Stanley Morgan: Back with Cincinnati
Rotowire
Morgan signed a two-year contract with the Bengals on Monday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Morgan didn't factor much into the team's passing game a season ago, and he likely will serve as receiver depth and a solid special-teams option in 2022. During his first three seasons with Cincinnati, he's tallied five receptions for 29 yards on 14 total targets and has one rushing attempt for three yards. Morgan also finished with 22 yards as a kick returner a season ago.

Stanley Morgan: Set to become free agent
Rotowire
Morgan won't be tendered by the Bengals, so he'll become a free agent when the new league year starts March 16, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Morgan appeared in all 17 of the Bengals' regular season games, but he wasn't a factor during their playoff run due to a hamstring issue. Regardless, he operated mostly on special teams and caught just two of four targets for 11 yards during the 2021 campaign. It's unclear what type of market the 25-year-old wideout will garner in free agency.
