Bengals 2021 practice squad: Tracking the additions to initial list

The Cincinnati Bengals finalized an initial 53-man roster Tuesday and will spend the rest of the week making a practice squad and tweaking that 53.

Some notable cuts, like Thaddeus Moss and Mason Schreck, are guys the Bengals likely hope to have pass through waivers so they can put them on the practice squad.

This year’s squad features 16 slots and a handful of those can be veterans. There are again tweaked call-up rules and protections this year, too.

Here’s a running, updated list of reports about the Bengals’ practice squad this year.
