The Cincinnati Bengals have started the long march to finalizing the 53-man roster by the NFL’s cuts deadline.
This was one of the tougher final 53-man rosters to predict for the Bengals in quite some time. The team continually being active in free agency in a big manner and drafting well to beef up a roster that has already made two consecutive AFC title games guaranteed a chaotic cut-down process.
Going into that process, just how many players the team would elect to keep at certain spots — plus gambles like slipping players onto the practice squad — were huge question marks.
Here’s a look at a live-updating cuts tracker as the process plays out.
