Braham to IR; Quincy Wilson signed to roster

The Bengals today made the following roster moves:

-- Placed center Rich Braham on the injured reserve list, ending his season. Braham announced his retirement Wednesday. Braham has been out of action, on the team’s gameday inactive list, since suffering a knee injury on Sept. 17 vs. Cleveland. He started the season’s first two games.

-- Signed tailback Quincy Wilson from the Bengals practice squad to the 53-player roster. Wilson is a first-year NFL player. He has played this season in three games (Games 3-5). He made the opening roster out of preseason, was waived Oct. 19, and had been on the practice squad since Oct. 21.

Also today, guard Eric Steinbach and defensive tackle Sam Adams, out this week because of an intestinal virus going through the locker room, returned to practice. Steinbach said he felt well.

Coach Marvin Lewis said his team was focused squarely on the Steelers.

"What else is there?" he said.

A popular rumor going through town: Lewis will leave the Bengals to replace Bill Cowher as Steelers coach. Can't see it happening. Lewis is under contract with the Bengals through the 2010 season.
