CINCINNATI — The Bengals are interested in acquiring a defensive end and/or a cornerback ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic.

Russini specifically named Giants defensive end Azeez Ojulari as a potential trade target, adding that the Bengals are one of multiple teams that are "keeping an eye" on the 24-year-old.

"Despite sitting at 3-5, Cincinnati has been poking around in search of a cornerback and a defensive lineman to get defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo some help," Russini wrote. "Edge rusher Trey Hendrickson is seen as the only threat on this Cincy defense."

The Bengals' pass rush has struggled this season. Combine that with a season-ending knee injury to Dax Hill and it's easy to see why they'd be targeting a defensive end or a cornerback.

The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 4 p.m. ET.
