The Cincinnati Bengals were right at the 4 p.m. ET deadline on Tuesday when announcing the final cuts that trimmed the roster to 53 players.

Cincinnati announced the following players were wavied:

  • LS Cal Adomitis
  • QB Jake Browning
  • P Drue Chrisman
  • OT Devin Cochran
  • DT Domenique Davis
  • TE Nick Eubanks
  • G Lamont Gaillard (injured)
  • G Nate Gilliam
  • LB Clarence Hicks
  • CB Delonte Hood
  • WR Trenton Irwin
  • DE Raymond Johnson III
  • LB Keandre Jones
  • WR Kwamie Lassiter II
  • TE Thaddeus Moss
  • G Desmond Noel (injured)
  • HB Jacques Patrick
  • WR Kendric Pryor
  • TE Justin Rigg
  • LB Tegray Scales
  • DT Tyler Shelvin
  • DT Tariqious Tisdale

The following players were cut:

  • S Trayvon Henderson
  • DE Noah Spence
  • WR Mike D. Thomas

One player went to the PUP:

  • LB Markus Bailey

Of note is Kevin Huber winning the job at punter over Drue Chrisman, a bit of a surprise given the similar performance and age difference.

As a whole, there weren’t going to be many shockers, especially compared to prior years during the roster overhaul. The team returned most of its Super Bowl roster besides the big free-agent additions and rookies.
