CLEVELAND — Charlie Jones can add another return touchdown to his career record.

Cincinnati’s wide receiver started Sunday’s game with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against the Cleveland Browns. It was the first Bengals kickoff returned for a touchdown since Brandon Wilson returned one against the Giants in 2020.

Jones is no stranger to returns touchdowns. Last year as a rookie, Jones took a punt back 81 yards for a touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens.

The former Purdue standout has been a recent addition to the kickoff return group. Sunday was the first time Cincinnati had just one return man to receive the kick.
