Bengals 53-man roster, practice squad by jersey number ahead of Week 9

The Cincinnati Bengals enter Week 9 with a stacked 53-man roster that is mostly healthy and a quality practice squad with plenty of players capable of coming up and helping in a pinch.

Good thing, too, because Week 9 is a “Sunday Night Football” showdown against the Buffalo Bills, a rematch of the two games they played last year and a game with direct AFC playoff seeding implications.
