The Bengals cut 11 players from their 90-man roster on Monday, leaving them four shy of the 75-man limit ahead of Tuesday’s deadline to pare the roster to that number.
The unlucky 11 are wide receiver Michael Bennett, fullback Jeff Luc, defensive lineman Jack Gangwish, cornerback Corey Tindal, safety Floyd Raven, linebacker Darien Harris, quarterback Joe Licata, wide receiver Antwane Grant, kicker Zach Hocker, tight end John Peters, and linebacker Jayson DiManche.
DiManche played 28 games for the team in 2013 and 2014 before being released last September. He returned to the team in January after spending time with the Browns and Chiefs last season. Hocker kicked for the Saints and Rams in 2015, but couldn’t unseat Mike Nugent.
The Bengals could place defensive tackle Andrew Billings, who tore the meniscus in his knee, on injured reserve and move defensive tackle Brandon Thompson to the regular season PUP list as they continue making their way to 75 players.
