Breaking Down the Cincinnati Bengals' Practice Squad Signings
Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- The Cincinnati Bengals signed 11 players to their practice squad, leaving room for additional additions, including tight end Tanner Hudson, expected to join on Tuesday.
- The team retained Hudson initially but cut a player after claiming offensive tackle Myles Hinton, opting to protect key roster members from waivers.
- Notable signings include linebackers Joe Giles-Harris and Shaka Heyward, running backs, and quarterback Sean Clifford, while quarterback Josh Johnson was notably omitted, possibly to allow him to seek a spot on another team's roster.
- Several waived players cleared waivers, but tight end Cam Grandy and wide receiver Mitch Tinsley were signed by other NFL teams.
- The Bengals are expected to fill the remaining practice squad spots soon and may elevate players like Bralyn Lux and Russ Yeast to the active roster during the season.
