All eight players were with the Bengals during training camp and were waived Saturday when the team announced its 53-man roster.

Two players the Bengals released Saturday were claimed by other teams: fifth-round offensive lineman J.J. Dielman went to the Los Angeles Rams, while undrafted rookie safety Demetrious Cox signed with Carolina.
