To trim their roster down to the required 53 players, the Bengals made several moves, as announced by the team:
**Released:**
– CB Jalen Davis
– QB Logan Woodside
**Waived:**
– DT Travis Bell
– CB Nate Brooks
– WR Cole Burgess
– T Devin Cochran
– RB Elijah Collins
– DT Carlos Davis
– DT Domenique Davis
– C Nate Gilliam
– TE Cam Grandy
– LB Devin Harper
– LB Shaka Heyward
– C Trey Hill
– WR Shedrick Jackson
– S PJ Jules
– WR Kendric Pryor
**Waived/injured:**
– CB Lance Robinson
**Placed on IR (designated for return):**
– DE Myles Murphy
– P Brad Robbins
**Placed on reserve/PUP list:**
– CB DJ Ivey
In Cincinnati, there were no major surprises. Ivey will start the season on PUP after his ACL injury last year, while Murphy and Robbins will miss the first four games but have the potential to return later. Woodside couldn’t secure the backup quarterback spot behind Joe Burrow, which went to Jake Browning. All 10 of the Bengals’ April draft picks made the initial roster, though undrafted players had less success. Wisconsin linebacker Maema Njongmeta made the active roster, and Robinson, waived with an injury designation, could return via IR.
