The Bengals have made some shocking moves as they have cut their roster down to 53 men for now. The “for now” component is very important, as there will be many changes to this roster still. However, the initial cuts have been made, and there are certainly some big surprises.
The first move to note is not really a move at all. The Bengals have moved Vontaze Burfict to the reserve/suspended list, which opens up an extra spot for now. This means Burfict will come back, but for now, he is technically not on the roster. The team also moved a few guys to IR, including Cethan Carter.
