Two roster spots on line tonight

The Bengals have 77 players on their roster heading into the third preseason game, tonight against Green Bay.

The first league cut-down deadline comes at 4 p.m. Tuesday, when teams will have to be at 75 players.

The NFL Europe exemptions end at the deadline for two Bengals who played spring ball overseas, offensive linemen Kyle Takavitz and Steven Vieira. The Bengals have an exemption for International Practice Squad player Daniel Watts, a native of London, England. Linebacker Odell Thurman, who has practiced with the team for the past two weeks, is suspended for the first four regular-season games because of twin violations of the NFL substance abuse policy. Thurman can practice and play in the preseason, but come the opener, he can not play or practice, though he can attend team meetings.
