Cincinnati Bengals' initial 53-man roster after final cuts
The Cincinnati Bengals trimmed the roster to 53 players by the NFL's Tuesday deadline.
While doing so, there weren't too many surprises. That is, the fact a few undrafted names made the final roster wasn't a stunner for those who have watched the team closely this summer.
As always, keep in mind that this is just the "initial" 53-man roster. Like other teams, the Bengals will likely browse the waiver wire for roster additions, consider outright free agents and perhaps even pick up the phone about trades now that things have settled leaguewide.
For now, here's a look at the team's initial 53-man roster and who they cut along the way.
