Bengals updated 2016 53-man roster and practice squad

Here is the Bengals’ 53-man roster after Sunday’s moves including placing William Jackson III and Cedric Peerman on Injured Reserve, waiving P.J. Dawson, claiming Jeff Driskel on waivers, and signing Chykie Brown and Trey Hopkins, both of whom were released on Saturday. The Bengals now have 10 offensive lineman and 10 defensive backs on the roster while only have eight defensive lineman. The roster could continue to evolve as we inch closer to the 2016 season, which is just one week away!
