Like the rest of the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals were forced to pare down their roster this week in accordance with the league’s cutdown deadline. How did the Bengals’ 53-man depth chart shape up on Tuesday, and what positions remain need areas on Cincinnati’s roster as Week 1 approaches?
PFN Bengals Podcast: The 53-Man Roster Is Set, Sort Of
On this week’s episode of the Pro Football Network Bengals Podcast, we discuss several critical positional holes that might remain on the Bengals’ roster.
Jake Browning won the QB2 job over Trevor Siemian, but is Browning safe? Or could Cincinnati look to add another quarterback in the coming days while moving Browning to the practice squad?
Will Grier, Colt McCoy, Bailey Zappe, and P.J. Walker are just a few of the intriguing signal-callers who were cut in recent days. Brandon Allen, the Bengals’ backup QB from 2020-22, made the San Francisco 49ers’ roster this week, eliminating him as a potential option for Cincinnati.
And what about running back? Trayveon Williams made the roster despite being injured for most of the preseason and is expected to return to practice soon. Is he locked in as the Bengals’ third-down back? Where do Chris Evans and Chase Brown stand? And is a free agent or waiver claim a possibility?
Plus, which players released by Cincinnati on Tuesday could join a new team on Wednesday? Are the Bengals in danger of losing standout edge defender Raymond Johnson III, who dominated during the preseason?
We’ll be returning to your airwaves each and every week — join us next week when we recap more Bengals’ transactions and break down some Cincinnati betting props for the upcoming season.
