Bengals make flurry of roster moves with practice squad, injured reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals hit on a series of roster moves on Thursday after final cuts and the waiver wire process.

There, the team re-signed running back Trayveon Williams, who was cut the day prior to make room for the team’s only waiver wire claim.

To make room, they shifted rookie defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson to injured reserve.

The Bengals also expanded on their initial practice squad, hitting the 16-man limit by adding the following names:

  • –G Tashawn Manning
  • –HB Kendall Milton
  • –DT Justin Rogers
  • –DE Isaiah Thomas

Those are all new arrivals from outside the team in various capacities, with Rogers’ arrival previously reported.

The Bengals were thin along the interior of the defensive line after announcing the initial 53-man roster, so it’s reasonable to expect that Rogers is somebody they might call up on gameday for depth.

Jackson is technically on IR-return, joining former first-round edge Myles Murphy and starting punter Brad Robbins. Williams returning to the active roster means they still have just three running backs on the 53, with him still slotting in behind Zack Moss and Chase Brown.
