Bengals Make Final Cuts, Trim Roster to 53 Players Ahead of Tuesday Deadline

Cincinnati trimmed their roster, but more moves could be on the way

CINCINNATI — The Bengals had until Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET to find a way to trim their roster down from 80 to 53 players. 

They had some tough decisions to make at key positions, including wide receiver, defensive end, running back and corner. 

The Bengals placed Hakeem Adeniji and Wyatt Hubert on the non-football injury list, which means they'll miss at least the first six weeks of the season. Joseph Ossai was put on injured reserve, which ends his season. 

Key cuts included Mike Daniels, Thaddeus Moss and Michael Jordan.
