The Bengals have been busy so far today, as they have made a few moves ahead of the deadline for roster cuts. They haven’t done anything surprising just yet, but the team has answered some important questions about a couple critical positions on this roster. The big cuts are yet to come, but these are the first casualties of roster crunch Saturday.
The tight end position has seen the most action today as Ryan Hewitt, a multi-year veteran, was released earlier this morning. Hewitt has been a reliable component of the Bengals’ offense over the last few years, but he’s been progressively less used.
