The Cincinnati Bengals announced that they have signed 13 players to their practice squad and cut three players.
We have announced our practice squad and acquired three players on waivers ⬇️
— Cincinnati Bengals (@Bengals) August 31, 2022
Their practice squad includes:
- LS Cal Adomitis
- QB Jake Browning
- P Drue Chrisman
- OT Devin Cochran
- DT Domenique Davis
- G Nate Gilliam
- WR Trenton Irwin
- DE Raymond Johnson III
- LB Keandre Jones
- WR Kwamie Lassiter II
- TE Thaddeus Moss
- LB Tegray Scales
- DT Tyler Shelvin
The Bengals also released QB Brandon Allen and S Michael J. Thomas and waived RB Trayveon Williams.
Allen, 29, is a former sixth-round pick out of Arkansas by the Jaguars back in 2016. He was entering the final year of a four-year, $2.4 million rookie contract when the Jaguars somewhat surprisingly waived him coming out of the preseason.
The Rams claimed Allen off of waivers and he bounced on and off their practice squad for a few years. The Rams waived Allen coming out of the preseason in 2019 and he was later claimed by the Broncos.
Denver declined to tender Allen as a restricted free agent and he signed a one-year deal with the Bengals last year. Cincinnati waived him coming out of camp but re-signed him to the practice squad, eventually promoting him to the active roster and starting role in spot-duty for Joe Burrow. He re-signed on a one-year deal for 2021 and returned, once again, back in March.
For his career, Allen has appeared in 14 games and completed 56.2 percent of his passes for 1,589 yards, 10 touchdowns and six interceptions.
