Former Cincinnati Bengals names kept surfacing all over the NFL as teams trimmed down to their initial 53-man rosters and built out practice squads ahead of Week 1.
Some of those moves involved players who had already been on the move as free agents, while others were recent Bengals cuts who quickly found another shot elsewhere. Here’s how that shakeout looked during final roster decisions.
A handful of former Bengals were released outright by new teams: Geno Stone, Cordell Volson and DE Khalid Kareem were let go by the New York Giants. Josh Tupou was released by the Giants as well, and Trey Hill was cut by the Washington Commanders.
The Detroit Lions moved on from Joe Bachie and Trayveon Williams. The Green Bay Packers released Devin Cochran and LS Cal Adomitis.
Andrew Stueber was released by the Atlanta Falcons, while Cameron Sample was released by Atlanta and then signed to the practice squad. Maema Njongmeta was released by the Carolina Panthers, and QB Jake Browning was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The San Francisco 49ers released Zachary Carter, Eli Apple, Khalil Herbert and Trenton Irwin. Bobby Hart was released by the Seattle Seahawks and later signed to their practice squad.
A few former Bengals landed on practice squads instead of leaving empty-handed. Mitchell Tinsley signed with the Houston Texans practice squad.
Charlie Jones joined the New York Giants practice squad. Josh Tupou also ended up on the Giants practice squad, and Cam Grandy signed with the Minnesota Vikings practice squad.

Joe Burrows Bengals Just Got Hit With A Contender Reality Check
The Bengals still have the kind of skill-position talent that keeps them in the conversation every season, but a recent poll of NFL executives from The Athletic served as a reminder that reputation only goes so far. The roster is built around Joe Burrow and a passing game that can stress any defense, yet the same conversation keeps circling back to the trenches and whether Cincinnati can do enough up front to make the offense more balanced.
Even with the same starting offensive line back in place, league observers are still uneasy about the teams ability to run the ball and keep Burrow clean. There are also lingering questions about the defensive scheme, and in a recent AFC pecking order, Cincinnati landed seventh. For a team expecting to be treated like a contender, that is the sort of outside skepticism that tends to hang around until September starts answering it. [Read more 🡒]
Bengals Enter 2026 With The Pressure Fans Can Feel
The Bengals are heading into the new NFL season with the kind of attention that comes from both expectation and unease. After a difficult previous season, Cincinnati still has the pieces to draw eyes, and ESPNs ranking of the team as the seventh most watchable and exciting in the league reflects how much interest remains around the franchise. A big part of that comes from the familiar triangle at the center of everything: Zac Taylor on the sideline, Joe Burrow under center and ownership watching it all unfold.
What keeps this from feeling like a simple bounce-back story is the pressure sitting on the roster around them, especially on defense, where improvement is still a clear need. ESPN pointed to Dexter Lawrence II as a key player to watch, another reminder that the Bengals path forward is about more than Burrows health or the offenses ceiling. The intrigue in Cincinnati is obvious, but so is the demand for answers once the season starts to test how much progress this group can really make. [Read more 🡒]
Bengals Fans Have One More Reason To Trust This Rebuilt Line
Dylan Fairchild has become one of the quieter reasons the Bengals feel better about their rebuilt offensive line. The starting left guard spoke briefly with FOX19 about his preparation for the upcoming season after a strong rookie year, and his focus was on the same thing that has defined much of Cincinnatis camp work up front: staying healthy, staying steady and carrying that progress into the regular season.
Fairchild also pointed to the importance of an early fast start, which matters even more for a line that has spent the offseason intact while the rest of the offense waits to see how it all translates. Cincinnati opens against Tampa Bay and Houston, a quick first test against two difficult fronts, so the Bengals comfort level in the trenches could get tested immediately. [Read more 🡒]
