The Cincinnati Bengals waived running back Rodney Anderson on Monday.
Cincinnati announced the move, citing a failed physical designation.
Anderson’s ability to stay on the roster was always going to come down to health. After collegiate injuries, he suffered another as a rookie last year after flashing serious potential in the preseason.
The move means a better shot at snaps for Trayveon Williams behind Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard, while Samaje Perine and Jacques Patrick presumably compete for the final roster spot.
This was another move on an eventful day for the Bengals, which included A.J. Green suffering a minor injury and Renell Wren needing a cart to leave the field.
In a corresponding move, the Bengals announced Bryce Sterk is done with testing and is now on the active roster at defensive end.
Roster Update: The #Bengals waived HB Rodney Anderson (failed physical).
