Bengals Designate G Xavier Su’a-Filo To Return From IR, Make Other Moves

The Bengals announced they have designated G Xavier Su’a-Filo to return from injured reserve and made a series of other moves. 

We've made multiple roster moves including clearing G Xavier Su’a-Filo to return to practice by designating him for return from the Reserve/Injured list & signing OT O’Shea Dugas to the practice squad.

Cincinnati signed OT O’Shea Dugas to the practice squad, activated LB Jordan Evans and CB Mackensie Alexander from the COVID-19 list and placed practice squad CB Winston Rose on the PS COVID-19 list. 

Su’a-Filo has a three-week window to practice with the team before Cincinnati has to add him to the active roster. 

Su’a-Filo, 29, is a former second-round pick of the Texans back in 2014. He played out the final year of his four-year, $5,551,601 contract with the Texans before agreeing to a contract with the Titans in 2018. 

Unfortunately, Su’a-Filo wound up being among the Titans’ roster cuts coming out of the preseason. The Cowboys later signed him to a contract last year. 

Cincinnati signed Su’a-Filo this offseason with the expectation of having him compete to start at guard. 

In 2019, Su’a-Filo appeared in 11 games for the Cowboys, making four starts for them.
