Kyries Hebert is one of the team's more productive special teams players, even earning from his peers the role of Special Teams Captain after recording a team-high 23 special teams tackles in 2008. Tied for second on the team with 12 special teams tackles, Hebert was still considered the team's special teams ace.
He filled in for the injured Roy Williams and Chinedum Ndukwe at safety during the preseason, recording an interception against the Eagles and 12 total tackles in the final two preseason games.
Hebert announced through Twitter that he has been cut from the Bengals, according to Joe Reedy.
Hebert is the first surprise cut, based on our 2010 53-man roster projection.
Along with Hebert, Dezmon Briscoe, Matt Jones and Dave Rayner have been cut. Four down, 18 to go.

Hebert is a surprise cut to your roster prediction.
Pretty standard cut in my book.

I can't stand having players
that can ONLY be special teamers. We need a 4th safety who can actually play safety a la Rico Murray or Marvin White. I actually think they’ll keep White as the 4th safety.

Really
You should have bet some money on this. I bet you would have taken a lot of very educated Bengals fans cash.
I don't like this cut
I like his ST and we are always waiting to see when Roy Williams will come up gimpy. Enless the Bengals have picked up a better saftey off of someones eles cut list.
hoping this cut is tempory
and the bengals resign him once the dust settles.

I liked Hebert
Special teams ace, im starting to get worried about our special teams coverage this year. If Skuta end up getting axed as well we lose our two best ST players. Hopefully young guys like Muckleroy and Ghee can step up.
I think Miles goes to PS
I think the PS will be:
Miles
Sears
Briscoe
Hudson
Hill
Rodgers
Tronzo
Knew this cut was coming
If they only keep 4 safties because of the 6 corners all 4 safties have to be able to play in the base defense. Hebert can’t. He’s strictly a special teamer. Has never played a down of base D in regular season since he’s been here.
Ko Simpson
got cut by the Lions. Would he be worth taking a look at ???
yeah he could be something worth looking at
not sure he’s a starter. definitely depth.

We all got so distracted by the same question about Quan Cosby...
that we forgot to look at Hebert. Cosby contributed more outside of special teams last year than Hebert did, and certainly would again this year. Moreover, we really need someone besides Crocker who can cover in the back (Miles?).
The Hebert cut likely means that Skuta makes it to the 53.
My thoughts exactly.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Kyries make three blocks covering 80 yards on a return like we saw out of Quan last year. And the Bengals’ staff have been high on Skuta all offseason.
Don't think Skuta makes it either
They’ll probably go light at linebacker with just 6 right now because of the running back situation. They can most likely get Skuta and Rey to the PS. Then activate one of them when needed.
I agree on Fui but they have Coates to play FB if needed
I think he actually caught everything thrown his way in preseason but should be able to do a good job blocking out of the backfield and on the line.
