The first reported roster move for the Cincinnati Bengals on final cuts day lands in the “expected” column.
According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, center Trey Hill was informed of his release from the team.
That means late-round rookie breakout Matt Lee has likely made the final roster.
A success story in his own right as a 2021 sixth-round pick out of Georgia, Hill was the backup for Ted Karras in recent years but might’ve needed a change to guard in order to stick longer. He could still return on the practice squad.
Lee has been a stunning riser for the Bengals, even getting some big praise from Karras himself after a strong rookie summer.
Here’s our Bengals final cuts roster tracker.
