CINCINNATI — Undrafted rookie linebacker Maema Njongeta has made the Bengals' initial 53-man roster according to Justin Melo of The Draft Network.

Njongmeta led the Bengals in tackles in two of their three preseason games, made multiple plays on special teams and did enough to make the team.

The Bengals will announce their initial 53-man roster later today. They currently have 74 players on their roster, which means they'll make 21 moves between now on Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline.
