Bengals add Christian Hackenberg to practice squad, officially re-sign Michael Johnson

The Cincinnati Bengals announced the addition of quarterback Christian Hackenberg to their practice squad on Monday and confirmed that Michael Johnson is re-signing with the team.

The Bengals placed cornerback Davontae Harris on injured reserve to open a roster spot for Johnson. Harris suffered a knee injury during the preseason.

Hackenberg, 23, was waived by the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend as they trimmed down to their initial 53-man roster. A former second-round pick out of Penn State, Hackenberg was unable to beat out his competition in two seasons with the New York Jets.
