Center added to practice squad

The Bengals today signed rookie center Kyle Cook to the practice squad.

Cook, who is 6-feet-3, 295 pounds, played at Michigan State. He was an undrafted rookie free agent signed by the Vikings. He played in all four of Minnesota's preseason games and was waived Sept. 1.

Offensive lineman Dan Santucci, one of the Bengals two seventh-round picks in 2007, was expected to have filled the eighth slot on the Cincinnati practice squad.
