Bengals release depth chart before Week 12 vs. Titans

Typically little changes about the depth chart for the Cincinnati Bengals on a week-to-week basis.

But as the Bengals head for Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans that has changed.

For one, there’s a new punter in town holding down the starting job. And for two, the Bengals made a roster move at wideout, waiving one former contributor in favor of calling up another from the practice squad.

As such, here’s a quick glance at the depth chart before the Bengals play in Week 12.
