Odds are his next stop is PS - they had to return him before doing anything else.

You can only bring 8 players back from IR.
The Bengals just used one of those moves for the backup punter. https://t.co/e7kB4DImpT

They had to bring him back because he was put on IR on cut day

This ultimately ends up being for a roster transaction technicality I don’t currently understand right?

Some of the "rules" are hard to follow. If we brought him back doesn't that mean we had to cut someone? 

I hope CTB clears waivers

We better keep rolling with Uncle Rehkow.

we had the open spot from Trent Brown.  He will likely be cut when they activate Myles Murphy and/or McKinnley Jackson

Is there a worst 5th round pick of all time? Brad Robbins the punter?

He was drafted in the last spot of the 6th round pick 217.  That was originally a Chiefs comp pick but the Bengals traded down in the 3rd from the 92nd pick to the 95th in exchange for the Chiefs 3rd round 95th pick and their 6th round 217th pick.  The Bengals drafted Battle with the 95th pick and Robbins at 217. Still not so great of a result as far as Robbins it seems.

Yeah, quite the drop off from college where he was All Big 10 three times, and had the second-best punting average in Michigan history, which stretches back to the 1870s.  I  wish him better luck with his second club, if I'm being a bit presumptuous.

Which is so weird as punters and kickers should be positions that seamlessly transfer over from college to pro. They aren’t going up against anyone so it’s not like the competition is bigger, stronger, faster, like other players have to deal with when they make the jump.

That is a stupid tweet from Goodberry. 

The designation has to be made when the player gets put on IR, not when he comes off. This decision was already made before Rehkow had punted once.

What was stupid was wasting one of the designations on a bad punter in the first place.

when he was placed on IR it wasn't clear that he was the worst of the 2 punters on the squad

They could get someone off the street to do what he did last season. If they hadn’t of wasted a draft pick on him it would have been a no-brainer.

Can he play corner?

You seem to REALLY like this Goodberry dude. Even when he's wrong.

Joe puts out great content. Some of us like a little more in depth coverage of our team than Sirius NFL radio.

But it was clear last year Robbins was one of the worst punters in the NFL.   What are you losing if Robbins didnt return?  

You are correct Robbins was designated as a return when he was put on the IR but even at that time many people were questioning the wisdom of using one of those IR return spots for such a bad player.  We only have 5 spots now for the rest of the regular season.  Im guessing Rankins will miss 4 weeks and normally would have been put on the IR to make room for another player but since we only have 5 spots the Bengals dont want to be limited to 4 the rest of the season so they are keeping Rankins inactive.  Using one of those IR spots for Robbins was bad decision making on the Bengals part.

When is the last time we came close to not being able to bring anybody back from IR because it would be player #8?
