Bengals make more moves

The Bengals this afternoon waived three players -- cornerback Blue Adams, rookie offensive lineman Dan Santucci and tailback Quincy Wilson -- and signed three players off waivers.

The teams signed cornerback David Jones (Saints), tailback Clifton Dawson (Colts) and linebacker Anthony Schlegel (Jets).

Jones is a rookie from Wingate and was the Saints fifth-round pick in the 2007 draft. Dawson was a rookie free agent from Harvard signed by the Colts in the spring. And Schlegel was a third-round Jets draft pick from Ohio State in 2006. He played in four games as a rookie with New York and had one special teams tackle.

The Bengals signed seven players to their practice squad, as well: wide receiver Bennie Brazell, safety John Busing, tight end Tim Day, guard Nate Livings, fullback Chris Manderino, defensive tackle Matt Toeaina and offensive tackle Dane Uperesa.

Santucci is expected to be the eighth practice-squad member once he would clear waivers.

The Bengals now have just eight offensive linemen on their active roster.

In addition, three players waived (injured) Saturday have cleared waivers and reverted to the team’s Reserve/Injured list — kicker Aaron Elling and cornerbacks Brandon Williams and T.J. Wright.
