The Cincinnati
Bengals sent their defensive backs home on Wednesday after
practice squad cornerback Winston Rose tested positive for
COVID-19.
Contact tracing is underway to determine close contacts to Rose,
who was placed on reserve/COVID-19.
The team's defensive backs worked remotely on Wednesday.
Also, the Bengals removed two players from COVID reserve - LB
Jordan Evans and CB Mackensie Alexander. Defensive tackle Margus
Hunt, offensive lineman Fred Johnson and Trae Waynes remain on
the list.
Also Wednesday, the Bengals cleared guard Xavier Su'a-Filo for
practice. He has 21 days to be activated and added to the roster
from injured reserve. Su'a-Filo suffered an ankle injury in
Cincinnati's season-opener and was put on IR on Sept. 15.
The Bengals signed OT O'Shea Dugas to the practice squad.
The Bengals (2-5-1) are coming off a bye and preparing to play
the undefeated Steelers in Pittsburgh on Sunday.
