Cincinnati Bengals final 53-man roster projection before final cuts (Bengals Wire)

That means formulating the final 53 isn't too difficult, especially compared to some of the recent rebuilding years. More interesting might be whether the team ...

But even that’s only to the depth. Rookies Carter and Gunter have shown enough to have a large rotational role for the former and a roster spot for the latter. But that’s the value of special teams here with the backups. But most of the ends here have shown they can kick inside and make an impact. That means the guy with more experience, both in the offense and with Zac Taylor. More interesting might be whether the team makes a trade or decides to add a guy that just got cut by another team.

Analysis: Kendric Pryor and Lassiter both flashed their potential on offense, but it won't be enough to make the team. Analysis: Harris won the battle at long snapper, but special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons decides to go with the younger, more powerful punter in Chrisman. The Bengals still have a roster exemption on Bates, which could help them sneak someone through on the initial 53-man roster. Seventh rounder Jeff Gunter flashed just enough to make the final cut.

Volson won the starting left guard job by a mile after playing well in training camp and in the preseason. Analysis: Allen has the trust of Burrow and the coaching staff. Analysis: Perine may fall to the No. They'll try to stash him on the practice squad.

Cincinnati Bengals 53-Man Roster Projection For 2022 (The Wright Way Network)

Tuesday, August 30th is the final day for NFL teams to cut down rosters to 53 players. The Cincinnati Bengals capped off their preseason with a 16-7 win ...

In this case, Pryor is a lock for the practice squad and would be the next man up in case of any injuries, potentially anywhere on the roster and not just at receiver. Carmen could be on the bubble but it is doubtful the team gives up on its 2021 second-round pick so soon. Hayden Hurst was signed to be the starting tight end and has looked the part all summer. Pryor is the hardest name to leave off the roster after his sensational offseason and preseason but the Bengals rarely keep more than six receivers. Joe Mixon, Chris Evans, and Samaje Perine are locked in as the top three backs. Keep an eye on the team potentially bringing back local hero Drew Plitt to the practice squad.

Bengals' Kendric Pryor is relishing the opportunity to 'learn from the ... (The Stripe Hype)

Cincinnati Bengals undrafted rookie free agent Kendric Pryor revealed part of the reason why he chose to sign with the team.

It is easy to understand why we haven’t heard much from the young guys in the receiver’s room. After enjoying two excellent preseason games heading into Saturday night, Pryor had another solid outing against the Rams. They have made all their noise on the field in practice and the preseason games. He led the team with 182 receiving yards in preseason action and finished second in receptions with 13, one behind Trenton Irwin’s 14. “I was talking to Kendric Pryor and he said the main reason he wanted to sign with the Bengals was to learn from the best. But he has done more than just learn — Pryor is

The Bengals have an added advantage this year at the cut deadline as they have been granted a two-week roster exemption for safety Jessie Bates III, who signed ...

The 26-year-old Davis has shown enough out of UNC-Pembroke to earn a spot on the team. Trags take: The core injury to Taylor-Britt means Jalen Davis likely earns a spot to begin the season. His other went 42 yards to the Rams 29 for a touchback. He took an awful sack on the first drive that took the opportunity to go for a touchdown out of the coaches hands. Trey Hill has shown to be the most viable backup and this is a group that could use a trade or a keen pick up off the waiver wire for much-needed depth. Browning made his best pass of the night when he perfectly lofted a pass over the outstretched arms of a linebacker and into the arms of Trayveon Williams for a 20-yard gain to the Rams 26 that set up the touchdown. This continues to be one of the deeper groups on the roster. They could use that to keep a player they intend on placing on injured reserve, designated to return, to start the season. Hurst and Sample are by far the most accomplished tight ends on the squad. Allen suffered a concussion in the first quarter of the opener against Arizona and finished 11-of-15 Saturday for 130 yards, including two terrific touch passes to the sideline to Stanley Morgan and Kendric Pryor. “There’s always guys that you’re trying to do the math on what you’re going to keep and what position depth is important,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor told me after the 16-7 win over the Rams Saturday. Trags take: This is not as much of a lock as thought heading into camp and into the preseason.

As we ponder if special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons kind of feels like a TV anchor on election night with a race too-close-to-call, the Bengals brain ...

Coming out of Vanderbilt undrafted he had a physical rep and he had five more tackles Saturday, 12 in the three games. In 25 PFF coverage snaps against the Rams, he was targeted just five times and gave up three completions for just 16 yards and only four after the catch. Hubbard (5), T B.J. Thomas, the vet, has been terrific and Anderson, the kid who was the club's second-leading tackler in the preseason, is talented and they're looking to develop him. Although Carman gave up a sack and was called for a hold, he appeared to play pretty well other than that and had PFF's second-best run blocking grade on the team behind right tackle Hakeem Adeniji. Now he was holding the ball that was the only touchdown in a Saturday night game against the Super Bowl champions to end the preseason. Springboro is just a 45- minute drive from Paycor and he remembers sitting in the stands five years ago watching the Bengals play the Steelers on a Monday night. The web site had him as the Bengals' third best blocker Saturday night and in the preseason opener and last week against the Giants he was rated their best blocker on 10 runs. Last year he was on the practice squad all year until they went and got him late in the season and he may be on the same path this year, potentially joining Patrick on the practice squad. Mixon and Perine didn't have a carry in the preseason and Evans had 18 and that's what they may take into the opener, although Williams is an easy fourth if they've got the room. He never came close to Taylor on punt return and the fact he dropped one against the Rams couldn't have helped. You need Two Men And a Truck for all these moving pieces in the wake of Saturday night's 16-7 victory over the Rams at Paycor Stadium.
