Bengals sign practice squad players
The Cincinnati Bengals made the following roster moves:
• Signed the following 13 players to the practice squad (all were with the Bengals during training camp):
– HB Gary Brightwell
– OT Devin Cochran
– OT Andrew Coker
– CB Jalen Davis
– LB Joe Giles-Harris
– G Jaxson Kirkland
– CB Bralyn Lux
– C Seth McLaughlin
– HB Kendall Milton
– WR Jordan Moore
– LB Maema Njongmeta
– DE Isaiah Thomas
– WR Isaiah Williams.
• Also signed QB Brett Rypien to the practice squad. Rypien (6-2, 200), a sixth-year player out of Boise State University, originally was a college free agent signee of Denver in 2019. He has played in 10 career games with four starts for the Broncos (2020-22) and L.A. Rams (’23), and completed 98 of 168 passes for 950 yards and four TDs with nine INTs. He also spent time on Seattle’s practice squad and the N.Y. Jets’ active roster during the 2023 season, then spent the entire ’24 campaign on Minnesota’s practice squad.
The Bengals’ practice squad currently is two spots shy of the 16-player limit.
In addition, the following three players, who each were waived/injured by the Bengals, cleared waivers and reverted to the team’s Reserve/Injured list:
– OT Caleb Etienne
– TE Tanner McLachlan
– G Cordell Volson.
