Roster move at WR

The Bengals just announced that they have signed wide receiver Marcus Maxwell from their practice squad and waived wide receiver Courtney Roby. Roby, signed Oct. 16 as a free agent, was active for the Jets game but did not play.

Maxwell is a second-year NFL player. He signed a three-year contract. He was signed to the Cincinnati practice squad on Oct. 4. He entered the NFL in 2005 as a seventh-round draft choice of the San Francisco 49ers. He played in four games as a rookie (no offensive statistics). He was waived in San Francisco’s 2006 final cuts and signed to the 49ers practice squad. He was with the 49ers in the 2007 preseason, with one catch for 11 yards, and was waived by San Francisco on Aug. 28.
