Cincinnati Bengals final 53-man roster projection before final cuts

A final look at a Bengals 53-man roster projection before final cuts.

The Cincinnati Bengals finished their 2021 preseason with an loss against the visiting Miami Dolphins, 29-26.

Now the hard part starts.

The Bengals now turn attention to the third and final roster cut-down period where they must trim the roster to 53 players by Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.

Here’s our final projection. Keep in mind someone like Joseph Ossai could get rostered, then pushed to injured reserve, while near-misses still qualify for things like the practice squad.
