Bengals Keep Tate, Schreck and Tupou, But Roster In Flux
The Bengals came out of Saturday’s cut even younger than last year, but for how long as they continue to adjust the roster through the weekend and eye finalizing it Sunday in preparation for the Sept. 9 opener (Cincinnati’s Channel 12, 1 p.m.) in Indianapolis.
The Bengals had to cut to 53 players by 4 p.m. Saturday, but a spate of injuries is apparently going to force them to re-adjust the roster by 4 p.m. Sunday. Two players who missed the last two games with injuries, wide receiver Cody Core (back) and rookie cornerback Davontae Harris (knee) both made it but may be candidates to go on injured reserve Sunday so they can be eligible for recall midway through the season.

Hobson's Choice: walking the line in the draft
Bengaldom hopes their team walked the line well in last week's NFL Draft. They went offensive line in the first round and then in the last round. Mississippi's Rod Taylor waited a long time to get picked, but he may have enough versatility to stay around longer than that.

Titans finish what Bengals can't
NASHVILLE - This one cut them deep because Sunday’s final-minute 24-20 loss to the Titans was one the Bengals really should have had. The offense finally re-discovered the big play and torched a Tennessee defense leading the NFL in fewest passes of 20-plus yards allowed with quarterback Andy Dalton’s two long touchdown throws and the defense turned to an emerging new cast of characters and blanked the Titans for all but the final 36 seconds of the second half without ejected captain Vontaze Burfict.

Final bow with a kick
INDIANAPOLIS - The kicking competition, of course, is the most intriguing roster storyline of them all for Thursday’s pre-season finale (7 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 12) against the Colts. But the last five or so spots are about as jumbled as they’ve been in several seasons pending suspensions, injuries, and tight position battles.
