CINCINNATI - The Bengals have re-signed tackle Eric Winston, the team announced on Wednesday. Winston replaces right tackle Jake Fisher, who was placed on the non-football illness list and is out for the rest of the season.
Winston, who turns 34 on Nov. 17, is the current NFLPA president and has been with five teams since he was taken by the Texans in the third round of the 2006 draft. This is his second stint with the Bengals.
Winston was mostly a backup in his three seasons with the Bengals, although he rotated snaps with Cedric Ogbuehi last year.
