Bengals Release Preseason Standout Raymond Johnson III

Cincinnati's defensive line room is deep, which made this a predictable decision.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals released Raymond Johnson III on Tuesday morning according to NFL insider Aaron Wilson. 

Johnson was a preseason standout and made plays at defensive end and tackle. Despite his stellar play, he had a steep hill to climb in an absolutely loaded defensive line room. 

Johnson wasn't on our final 53-man roster projection, but he was one of the final cuts. The Bengals are hoping he clears waivers and signs with their 16-man practice squad.  

Check out a complete list of Bengals cuts ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. deadline here. The tracker will be updated throughout the day.
