The Cincinnati Bengals need some help at tight end with both Cethan Carter and rookie Drew Sample ruled out for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.
That in mind, the team announced the promotion of Mason Schreck off the practice squad and elected to waive offensive tackle Andre Smith in the process.
It’s a not-so-noteworthy move. Schreck had a big role on special teams before getting hurt last year, had fans within the building and even had teams calling about trading for him in the past.
And on the offensive line front, Smith started a handful of games at left tackle before getting hurt. Letting him go has more to do with Cordy Glenn than Jonah Williams, but it’s notable nonetheless.
We’ll see if Schreck has an impact Sunday — but the team sure needs somebody to step up.
