Notes:
Tahj Brooks makes the 53 man roster over Jamal Haynes. But his spot is not safe. We’ll see if the Bengals add someone on the waiver wire.
Ke’Shawn Williams beats out Charlie Jones. The right move, but I wasn’t sure they’d do it. Williams will be the KR.
In my predictions, I had Jack Endries on IR, but he was healthy enough to crack the roster. Brian Parker and Ja’Sir Taylor, however, land on IR. Josh Newton takes what probably would have been Taylor’s spot.
Shemar Stewart makes the roster, avoiding IR.
I had the Bengals going with 4 LB’s in my final roster predictions, but wondered if they would actually go that light. They have, for now at least.
We’ll be watching the waiver wire closely over the next day or so. RB and OT are two positions to especially keep an eye on.
