Malone probably would've just dropped it anyways lol.

He was the only one who was getting separation at a high rate during the pre season.

Bullshit.

I like Malone, I hope he comes back and if he doesnt, probalby will do well like Sanu & Marvin J with other teams in time.

Bryant was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad late this evening.

Bengals can still sign him to the 53 if a WR gets injured.  Green's health is unknown, Tate gets dings.   Then there is Ross who is WR equivalent to Eifert in terms of injuries but less production by  a long shot.

The DC mentioned using 5 DL in certain sets. If they ran that a lot then I could see having 10 D linemen or so.

Tate isn't a TE man.

Doctson hasn't been good in the NFL so far, i did like him in college but he hasn't lived up to his draft status at all.

Doesn't matter what Phillips did in college as we all know if he is muffing Punts in the NFL.

Draft status doesn’t matter. Josh Doctson, if added, would be the third-most productive WR on the team.

Are you saying it is better to have not produced in a really good team (lack of opportunities?) or not produced in a bad team (lack of talent around?)?

He never had a dominant run blocking OLINE
In Washington.
I'm sure he had to run vs. Stacked boxes cause frankly
The Skins haven't had a WR to loosen a defense

Well that experience will come in handy in Cincinnati.

This is shocking to me...it's as though the Bengals are saying that Cooper is more important to the Bengals because of his return ability than Malone possibly using his speed to help take the top off a defense.  I guess that ZT and company want the consistency and sure-handedness of Cooper and will need to have him active on game day.  Does that mean that Tate isn't active on gameday?  Or do they go with that many WRs and only 3 active TEs?  No idea.  But I was really hoping to see Tate involved in some packages.  

I don't think Cooper will be used in the offense at all, at least not initially but one thing that is good about him (for ST) is he is a strong, solidly-built guy that can block as a WR.  

Perine makes a ton of sense after what happened to Anderson.

No way of knowing that.

I liked Doctson in college but he has been severely underwhelming in the NFL.

He is good at going up for the ball, at least he was in college, but so is Damian Willis and Auden Tate.

I know that but I was just saying that he had been signed earlier in the day by the Cowboys to their practice squad. I appreciate the feedback though. Who Dey

Or it is possible that they realize the o-line wouldn't hold up long enough to take advantage of Malone's speed and having another solid slot guy is more useful.

Looks like Malone or Nickerson will be re-signed to PS spot...

Neither Malone nor Nickerson were claimed. Expect the team to re-sign one of them Tuesday for the last practice squad spot. https://t.co/cbnmzWMYe6

I meant in terms of NFL production up to this point. Apologies for the awkward wording.

I hope it is Malone or both and the cut another practice squad player. They would be 2 capable guys ready to step on active 53 and play if needed due to injury

Nickerson is pretty bad.

And Nickerson it is....

It actually is the move that makes the better sense considering how thin we are at LB

The #Bengals have signed LB Hardy Nickerson to the practice squad.

Gee Whiz, I get familiarity and all, but wow..  I was really hoping that they would at least pull someone out of the scrap heap that was a little better than Nickerson.

I guess all we can do now, is hope we don't have a LBer go down.... I think sloths move faster than this guy.
