Dugas and Dolegala looked to be players you keep on the PS for a year and they compete for a place on the 53 next year. Maybe they both make it this year as there's not enough NFL caliber talent to fill up the roster.

Matthias Rankin was cut and I expect they'll make a waiver claim on him but think a few teams ahead of the Bengals will be putting in a claim too. The thing is with anyone you claim or trade for - it's going to be tough to feature without knowing the playbook. You're probably therefore making the move as much for 2020 as this year.

Agreed, with the caveat that a guy acquired now, would be able to work his way in later in the season.  For an OL it shouldn't take all that long to figure out what the Bengals offense is asking of them.  Football is football, just different terms and specific assignments in varying systems.
