Typically little changes about the depth chart for the Cincinnati Bengals on a week-to-week basis.
Outside of injury developments, which don’t technically move the cemented depth chart, the usual names appear in the usual places.
But as the Bengals head for Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans that has changed.
For one, there’s a new punter in town holding down the starting job. And for two, the Bengals made a roster move at wideout, waiving one former contributor in favor of calling up another from the practice squad.
As such, here’s a quick glance at the depth chart before the Bengals play in Week 12.
