Bengals promote safety Russ Yeast to active roster
Yeast takes the roster spot left vacant when tight end Tanner Hudson was placed on injured reserve.
The Bengals announced the signing of safety Russ Yeast from their practice squad, filling a vacancy on the team's 53-man roster. The spot became available after tight end Tanner Hudson went on injured reserve.
After spending last season on the Bengals' practice squad, Yeast was elevated for two games this season. He has recorded four tackles, with appearances on both defense and special teams. Earlier in his career, he registered 82 tackles across 36 games with the Texans, Panthers and Rams.
In separate practice-squad moves, the Bengals announced the additions of tight end Josh Kattus and linebacker Emany Johnson. Safety Isaiah Nwokobia was released from the practice squad.
