Team signs WR Reggie McNeal to 53-man roster

The Bengals have signed wide receiver Reggie McNeal to their 53-man roster this afternoon.

McNeal, a quarterback at Texas A&M, was the Bengals' sixth-round draft pick in April. He was waived in the last batch of cuts and then signed to the team's practice squad.

The Bengals have suffered some injuries at wide receiver. T.J. Houshmandzadeh, the No. 2 receiver, has missed the first two games with a heel injury. Antonio Chatman has missed both games with a groin injury. The team had four receivers active in the first two games: Chad Johnson, Chris Henry, Kelley Washington and Tab Perry. All four of the receivers have played well.

Coach Marvin Lewis said he would know more Wednesday about Houshmandzadeh's status for the Pittsburgh game Sunday.
