The Bengals continued to tweak their roster today, Monday, Sept. 6.
The club acquired cornerback Rashad Bauman off waivers from Washington. He is a third-year NFL player with 28 games and three starts in 2002 and 2003. He has 40 NFL tackles and one interception.
To make room for Bauman on the 53-man roster, the Bengals waived rookie wide receiver Maurice Mann, their fifth-round draft pick.
The Bengals also signed seven players to their practice squad:
*Allen Augustin, linebacker, rookie;
*Jamall Broussard, wide receiver, rookie;
*Pete Lougheed, offensive lineman, first-year player;
*Elton Patterson, defensive end, second-year player;
*Cliff Russell, wide receiver, second-year player;
*Greg Scott, defensive end, second-year player;
*Larry Stevens, linebacker, rookie.
All of the practice squad players were with the Bengals in training camp, except Russell. He played three games for the Redskins in 2003 and was signed to the practice squad after being released by Washington and clearing waivers.
If Mann clears waivers, he will likely be signed to fill the eighth and final spot on the Bengals practice squad.
