Bengals release Germaine Pratt

The Bengals today released LB Germaine Pratt.

Pratt, a seventh-year player out of North Carolina State University, originally was a third-round draft pick of the Bengals in 2019. 

He played in 96 regular-season games with 88 starts for Cincinnati and totaled 608 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 23 PDs, seven INTs, seven FFs and five FRs. He also started seven postseason contests for the Bengals following the 2021 and ’22 campaigns.

“I’m very appreciative of what Germaine has done for our team over the last six years,” said head coach Zac Taylor. “He has been a part of plays and wins that will be remembered forever by Bengals fans. I will always pull for Germaine and I wish him the best moving forward.”
