Bengals cut RB Herron

Posted August 31, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Dan Herron,  Roddrick Muckelroy,  Pat Sims,  Dontay Moch,  Tony Dye,  Nick Hayden,  Jourdan Brooks,  Colin Cochart,  Bryce Davis,  James Develin,  DeQuin Evans,  Vidal Hazelton,  T.J. Heath,  Otis Hudson,  Grant Hunter,  Micah Johnson,  Emmanuel Lamur,  Chris Lewis-Harris,  Vaughn Meatoga,  Zac Robinson,  Reggie Stephens
TEAMS: Cincinnati Bengals,  Ohio State Buckeyes
Former Ohio State running back Dan Herron was among 18 players waived by the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday night to get down to the 53-man roster limit. The sixth-round draft pick averaged only 1.7 yards per carry in the preseason. He ran 15 times for 29 yards during the final preseason game at Indianapolis on Thursday night. The most experienced player waived was linebacker Roddrick Muckelroy, a fourth-round pick in 2010 who missed last season with an Achilles tendon injury. The Bengals also placed defensive tackle Pat Sims on the physically unable to perform list. Sims missed the last five games last season because of ankle injuries that limited him during training camp. He won't be able to practice for the first six weeks. Linebacker Dontay Moch will miss the first four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. The Bengals also placed safety Tony Dye on a reserve list with an ankle injury, ending his season. Defensive tackle Nick Hayden was released with an injury settlement following his ankle injury. Also waived were running back Jourdan Brooks, tight end Colin Cochart, long snapper Bryce Davis, fullback James Develin, defensive end DeQuin Evans, receiver Vidal Hazelton, cornerback T.J. Heath, guard Otis Hudson, linebacker Grant Hunter, defensive end Micah Johnson, linebacker Emmanuel Lamur, cornerback Chris Lewis-Harris, defensive tackle Vaughn Meatoga, offensive tackle Matthew O'Donnell, quarterback Zac Robinson and guard Reggie Stephens. Muckelroy, Cochart and Hayden are not eligible for the team's practice squad.

Bengals trying to be more than one-year wonder

Via AP on Fox  |  August 30, 2012
Throughout their 44-year history, the Cincinnati Bengals have rarely been more than a one-year playoff wonder. The Bengals have gone to the playoffs in back-to-back seasons only once. They went to the Super Bowl for the first time and lost to San Francisco during the 1981 season, then made the playoffs again the following year. That's it. It's even worse by another measure...

Late Night Roster Thoughts

Via WhoDeyFans  |  August 31, 2012
  With the season opener only a few days away and the Bengals roster cuts made today, there’s no better time than now to offer some rapid fire thoughts on the roster. -I’m sad to see Roddrick Muckelroy go. I thought Muckelroy played well in the preseason (and in his limited opportunities as a rookie) and figured he would be a decent replacement should Rey Maualuga ever get...

A Little Nervous…

Via WhoDeyFans  |  August 30, 2012
Tonight our Bengals play their final tune-up for the regular season against the new-look, Luck-ed up Colts.  There won’t be much to see from the starters, so there won’t be much opportunity to see the guys who will take the majority of the snaps against Baltimore in the big Monday Night opener.  That’s too bad, because frankly I’m getting a little uneasy about things about...
