The Cincinnati Bengals have officially announced their 53 man roster.
Cincinnati had until 4 p.m. ET Saturday to make the necessary moves and the full list doesn’t present a ton of surprises.
The team issued a statement with the names of the players who didn’t make the cut:
- DT Freedom Akinmoladun
- DE Amani Bledsoe
- DT Trey Dishon
- QB Jake Dolegala
- TE Jordan Franks
- DE Kendall Futrell
- LS Dan Godsil
- S Trayvon Henderson
- WR Trenton Irwin
- OT Josh Knipfel
- WR DaMarkus Lodge
- CB Greg Mabin
- C Frederick Mauigoa
- DT Kahlil McKenzie
- CB Torry McTyer
- WR Stanley Morgan
- HB Jacques Patrick
- CB Winston Rose
- TE Mason Schreck
- S Maurice Smith
- LB Marcel Spears Jr.
- WR Scotty Washington
- TE Mitchell Wilcox
The Bengals had an early start on the process Friday by trading linebacker Austin Calitro to the Denver Broncos in exchange for defensive tackle Christian Covington, unloading a linebacker who wouldn’t have been part of the final 53 for help at a hurting position.
Cincinnati also gets to move 16 players to the practice squad this year and the expanded list also features expanded protection rules. At least one quarterback and a host of talent will make that list, though the Bengals figure to potentially be plenty active on the waiver wire too.
