BENGAL Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 Does anyone know what date the Bengals must reduce their roster to 65 by???? If I remember correctly last year the Bengals made first cuts the day after the 3rd preseason game (a few days before the actual deadline). I can't help but to be anxious to see who's still around come Saturday!!!! Any opinions????-Now that's a silly ? isn't it!!!! Quote

oldschooler Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 You are correct.But I`m pretty sure they that teams have to have their practice squads drawn outat the same time that they have their 53 manroster drawn out. I could be wrong though...Plus on a side note...To be eligible for the practice squad, a player must have less than one full season in the league but a one year player is still eligible if he was inactive on game day for more than nine games during his season. You can only be on the practice squad two years. So a player like Cliff Russell is not eligible. Quote
