Practice squad moves

-- From Bengals PR: The Bengals today signed safety Nick Turnbull to the practice squad. Turnbull (6-2, 222; Florida International) is a second-year NFL player. He entered the NFL in 2006 as a college free agent with Atlanta and played in two games. He also played in one game for Chicago, after being acquired by the Bears on waivers. He returned to Atlanta via waivers on May 9 of this year. He played in one preseason game for the Falcons, was waived/injured on Aug. 28, and was waived from Atlanta’s Reserve/Injured list on Oct. 25.

UPDATE: 4:30 p.m.

In addition, this afternoon the Bengals released safety Jesse Daniels of LSU from the practice squad. Daniels had been signed to the practice squad on Dec. 5. And they signed defensive tackle Titus Adams (6-4, 305), a first-year NFL player from Nebraska. Adams entered the NFL in 2006 as a seventh-round draft choice of the New York Jets. He opened the season on the Jets practice squad and was signed to the New York Giants’ 53-player roster on 12-6-06. He was inactive with the Giants for the final five games of the regular season, and for the Giants’ playoff game at Philadelphia. He opened the 2007 preseason with the Giants and was obtained by San Diego on waivers on Aug. 20. He was waived by San Diego on Sept. 1.


-- A reader pointed out that the Bengals drafted Chris Perry at No. 26 in 2004, and the Rams Steven Jackson at 24. The Bengals traded down from No. 24 with the Rams and could have taken Jackson with that pick.

Great, another has-been who will turn out to be injured for the rest of his career. Why do they pick up players no other team wants? There is a reason other teams don't want them!!!!!!

I know Mark. That's why this team is LOSING! Because of moves like that. BTW I watched that draft and Jackson was continuously being hyped as #1 RB on Kiper's Board. So in effect as a Dumb fan. I could have been told by Bengal brass. "We need RB." I could have looked at Kiper's board and said "Bengals take Stephen Jackson." Mike brown wants save money. Hire some fans off Bengal Message Board. They seem be more intelligent then his scouting Dept employees.
