Bengals Cut 11 Players, Down To 79

The Bengals have only four moves left to make in advance of tomorrow’s 75-man deadline. On Monday, the club announced that eleven players have been cut loose:

  • FB Jeff Luc
  • DL Jack Gangwish
  • CB Corey Tindal
  • S Floyd Raven
  • LB Darien Harris
  • QB Joe Licata
  • WR Antwane Grant
  • K Zach Hocker
  • TE John Peters
  • LB Jayson DiManche

The Bengals should be able to whittle down their roster a bit more by placing players like Cedric Peerman (fractured forearm) and fourth-round draft pick Andrew Billings (surgically-repaired meniscus) on IR. Defensive tackle Brandon Thompson (ACL) is also likely to hit the PUP list.
