I am not sure why people think the Bengals need to do something with Pratt. Right now he is under contract so it gives the Bengals many options. They might be waiting to see more from their new linebackers before they cut Pratt. They might want Pratt to go back to being a 2 down LB and see him as being a contributor on defense for 1 more season. They may be waiting until another team has injuries so Pratt's value goes up and they can trade him for a decent draft pick. They may even hold on to Pratt until the season starts and trade him during the season to a needy team. At this point there is absolutely no reason to cut Pratt so Im not sure why people are surprised he is still on the team.
