The Cincinnati Bengals completed the cut-down process to comply with the NFL’s 53-player deadline on Tuesday.
Former starting guard Michael Jordan was the most notable cut as the Bengals trimmed the roster by 20-plus names to reach the 53-man limi.
The Bengals then announced the moves used to reach that 53-man roster.
Three players went to the IR lists:
- OT Hakeem Adeniji
- DE Wyatt Hubert
- DE Joseph Ossai
Four veterans were cut and go right to free agency or re-sign:
- DT Mike Daniels
- TE Mason Schreck
- DE Noah Spence
- WR Trent Taylor
Twenty were waived and go on waivers:
- LB Joe Bachie
- DE Amani Bledsoe
- CB Tony Brown
- P Drue Chrisman
- S Trayvon Henderson
- LB Keandre Jones
- G Michael Jordan
- DT Kahlil McKenzie
- TE Thaddeus Moss
- HB Jacques Patrick
- CB Antonio Phillips
- CB Winston Rose
- K Austin Seibert
- QB Kyle Shurmur
- G Keaton Sutherland
- OT Gunnar Vogel
- WR Scotty Washington
- HB Pooka Williams Jr.
- HB Trayveon Williams
- DT Renell Wren
None of the cuts came as much of a shock for a team with a pretty well-established talent base at this point. A few surprises — such as Darius Hodge after his strong summer — squeaked onto the final 53.
