While it was an honorable and valiant effort... a 3 yard TD and a punt return against horrid 3/4th string coverage doesn't earn you a spot on this team.

I love the guy. He is buying into the Bengal way, and he has shown he is a hard worker, but he will have to really turn some heads to make this roster.

He has as good a shot as anyone at the last WR spot. 

Assuming Green, LaFell, Boyd, Tate, and Core are the five locks- then Wright, Erickson, Alford, and Kumerow are all fighting for the final spot. Maybe throw Simonise and Russell in the mix too, but they're likely PS candidates.

Will be really interesting what WRs they decide to keep for the practice squad between all the guys who don't make the 53. They likely keep two.
