Bengals sign C Faine to fill in for injured Cook

Posted August 29, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Jeff Faine,  Kyle Cook,  Trevor Robinson
TEAMS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers,  Cincinnati Bengals
Minnesota_vikings_v_7583
The Bengals have signed center Jeff Faine to replace the injured Kyle Cook, who will miss considerable time - and possibly the season - because of injury. The 31-year-old center started 15 games for Tampa Bay last season. He was released on March 14 and has been a free agent. Cincinnati suddenly needed a center when tests found that Cook had a significant injury to his right foot and ankle from a preseason game on Thursday. Their only backup at the spot was undrafted rookie Trevor Robinson, who didn't play center in high school or college. Faine was the Browns' first-round pick in 2003. He was traded to New Orleans for the 2006 season, then moved to Tampa Bay as a free agent in 2008.
