|High School Harry| Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Bengals add four players, place Rod Taylor on IR Posted by Josh Alper on August 5, 2018, 8:00 AM EDT AP The Bengals brought in a slew of new faces on Saturday while also ending the season of one of their draft picks. Seventh-round guard Rod Taylor tore his ACL early in training camp and the Bengals made the move to place him on injured reserve on Saturday. The Bengals filled Taylor’s roster spot by claiming defensive tackle Eddy Wilson off of waivers from the Seahawks. He had 73 tackles and 3.5 sacks at Purdue before going undrafted this year. In addition to claiming Wilson, the Bengals also signed three players. Cornerback C.J. Goodwin moved on to his fourth team of the offseason as he’s had short stints with the Cardinals, Giants and 49ers. He spent most of the last two seasons with the Falcons. Offensive lineman Cory Helms and wide receiver Kayaune Ross, both of whom went undrafted this year, were also signed to the 90-man roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatternMaster Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Ross is an intriguing, a 6-6 WR that likes to run block and play physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they can give him #15 and save a few bucks, Redeemer has to love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he could put on an extra 30 lbs. perhaps he could make the team as a TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarkster Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Ross is definitely a physical specimen and a workout warrior, but injuries kinda derailed him at UK. Probably a more raw, but faster, more athletic Auden Tate. Doubt he makes the 53-man, but certainly a practice squad candidate. All grunt team.

Why would he do that, playing TE involves more than just gaining weight. This idea that guys can just easily change positions at the highest level of competition is misguided, a position change rarely works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be much easier for a fast tight end to lose a little weight and become a slot receiver than a receiver to put on weight, become comfortable with blocking and learn the offensive line signals. Way more of a learning curve plus this guy seems prone to injuries, not a good trait for a tight end I am told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
