The Cincinnati Bengals can use the waiver wire to add to the initial 53-man roster after Tuesday’s final cuts.
Every team is free to put in waiver wire claims by Wednesday, Aug. 28, at noon ET.
Players with less than four accrued NFL seasons go to waivers, while those with more who are cut or released go right to unrestricted free agency. Those who pass through waivers then become free agents if unclaimed, too.
Given Cincinnati’s injury woes at defensive end, the Bengals figure to be active in some capacity on the waiver wire.

- New England Patriots
- Arizona Cardinals
- Los Angeles Chargers
