The Cincinnati Bengals announced Tuesday that they’ve signed S Derron Smith to their practice squad and released TE Scott Orndoff from the unit.
The Bengals’ practice squad now consists of:
- LB Brandon Bell

- DT Josh Tupou
- WR Kermit Whitfield
- DT DeShawn Williams
- RB Jarveon Williams
- S Brandon Wilson
- G J.J. Dielman
- CB Tony McRae
- S Derron Smith
Orndoff, 23, wound up signing a three-year, $1.66 million contract with Steelers as an undrafted free agent out of Pittsburgh back in May. He stands to make base salaries of $465,000 and $555,000 over the first two years of the agreement.
The Steelers waived Orndoff with an injury designation on Wednesday and he later signed on with the Lions for a few weeks. The Bengals added him to their practice squad last month.
During his four-year college career at Pittsburgh, Orndoff recorded 58 receptions for 897 yards receiving (15.5 YPC) and 13 touchdowns.
