Bengals reunite with free agent Margus Hunt

The Cincinnati Bengals have again dipped into free agency for help along the defensive line, this time reuniting with old friend Margus Hunt.

Hunt, a second-round pick by the Bengals in 2013, makes his big return as the Bengals waive Andrew Brown to make room.

This is another desperation move for the Bengals as they look to counteract the battery of injuries to the defensive interior. The line just got Geno Atkins back — but he and Carlos Dunlap are reportedly unhappy with their roles.

Hunt spent the last few seasons with the Indianapolis Colts before hopping around and eventually returning to the team that drafted him.

Considering the Bengals gave plenty of playing time to Xavier Williams in Week 6 right after signing him, Hunt figures to see notable usage in Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns.
