The Cincinnati Bengals have secured the futures of nine players, with their inclusion on the active list set for February 12th, the Monday following the Super Bowl.

Eight of these athletes wrapped up the season on the team’s practice squad, while one concluded on the practice squad’s injured list.

Let’s take a closer look at the newcomers joining the Bengals for the offseason:

—DT Domenique Davis

—CB Allan George

—C Nate Gilliam

—DE Jeff Gunter

—LB Shaka Heyward

—WR Shedrick Jackson

—G Jaxson Kirkland (Practice Squad/Injured list)

—WR Kwamie Lassiter II

—WR Kendric Pryor

Davis, Lassiter, and Jackson are notable for having been elevated to the gameday roster at least once during the season.

It’s worth mentioning that other players who concluded the season on the practice squad but weren’t part of these initial signings include running back Demetric Felton, linebacker Clay Johnston, cornerback Sidney Jones IV, wide receiver Stanley Morgan, quarterback Drew Plitt, and safety Michael J. Thomas.
