The Cincinnati Bengals today placed defensive tackle Devonnsha Maxwell on the Reserve/Injured list with a right knee injury, the team announced Monday.
Maxwell, a rookie out of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, signed with the Bengals as a college free agent in May. He was viewed as one of the team’s top UDFA signings this year.
The 6-foot-2, 297-pound Maxwell was actually given a draftable grade by NFL.com after racking up 37.5 career sacks. He looked like a good candidate to make the practice squad and give the Bengals some depth at defensive tackle.
