Try to keep this thread for known roster updates, so they are all in one place, as the Bengals work to finalize the roster

The news will start to trickle out as players are notified over the next couple of days.

The initial 53 must be set by 4 PM Tues Aug 29th. Waiver claims must be placed before noon on Wed Aug 30th. If a player is placed on IR prior to 4 PM on Tuesday, he is done for the season. To be able to return they must be on the initial roster. Also, keep in mind that some players (like a Stanley Morgan) might be cut only to be brought back the next day as an IR move is made. Players currently on the PUP list do not count toward the 53. A player with 4 or more vested seasons is released outright all others are subject to waivers. Released players may sign with anyone. Waived players must go to the claiming team and must be on the roster for at least the week 1 game

Placed OT La’el Collins on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list; Placed the following two players on the Reserve/Injured list: DT Tautala Pesefea Jr. and CB Marvell Tell III; Terminated the contracts of the following six players: TE Tanner Hudson, CB Sidney Jones IV, WR Stanley Morgan, QB Trevor Siemian, WR Trent Taylor and S Michael J. Thomas; Waived the following 26 players: OT Hakeem Adeniji, TE Devin Asiasi, TE Nick Bowers, S Larry Brooks, G Ben Brown, DE Owen Carney, WR Malachi Carter, P Drue Chrisman, S Yusuf Corker, DT Domenique Davis, CB Allan George, C Nate Gilliam, DE Jeff Gunter, LB Shaka Heyward, WR Mac Hippenhammer, WR Shedrick Jackson, DE Raymond Johnson III, LB Keandre Jones, G Jaxson Kirkland, WR Kwamie Lassiter II, LB Jaylen Moody, LB Tyler Murray, HB Jacob Saylors, QB Reid Sinnett, TE Christian Trahan and HB Calvin Tyler Jr.

He was very good a couple of years ago

Now that all PS games are over. Who you got?

REMINDERS:
If we want to IR someone and bring them back after 4 weeks they must be on the original 53
The new QB rule could short us a position player on the 53. (3rd QB doesn't count against Game Day, but does against the 53)
Not on the roster is OK

A couple names to highlight Jalen Mayfield was cut by Atlanta. He played guard as a rookie and was bad and has been bad all pre-season but he is young talented and has experience. Fred Johnson was cut at this point I wouldn't mind Johnson coming back as a backup tackle.

Edit: Linebacker named Bumper Pool is one of the greatest names I have ever seen.

I didn't get to see any of the preseason games. It seems like this year's draft class might be sticking around this season.
Do you think there will be any surprise cuts or UDFA making a showing on the 53s?

Harris was the backup C for the Browns, he's been released. A knee injury wiped out his 2022 season, and the Browns responded by selecting Luke Wypler in the draft. Harris appears to have made a full recovery from his knee injury, and has graded out at 77.7 by PFF, good enough for 8th best among all Centers this preseason. Wypler has really impressed this preseason as well, and the Browns are ready to make him their backup option at C.

After Karras, the Bengals don't really have much of anything to write home about at the Center position. Hill is pretty unimpressive, and Scharping has taken the very first reps at C in his life this preseason. I'm thinking that Harris might be a good add, seeing how he's entering just his 4th year in the league and appears to be fully recovered from his knee injury.

Tarell Basham had been waived

The first 2 weeks of the regular season starts off with the Browns and Ravens. We need to win these games to set the tone for the rest of the season. I'd hate to be down 0-2 by week 3. Looking forward to the Bengals and Burrow being tough in these games. Our D will also need to shine. I just hope the OL is ready for the challenge by then. Last year took a few games to get it together, Go Bengals!

Murphy seemed to have a great practice recently pressuring our QB's. I am not sure if this because our OL stinks or Murphy is progressing.

I look forward to watching hm Saturday as he missed last week.

Ja'Marr Chase has some suggestion for the script writers. ✍️ #YouCantMakeThisStuffUp @Real10jayy__ | @Bengals pic.twitter.com/g2kcAroz3Z
