Bengals sign one running back, waive another
In a move reported by NFL guru Carlos “Big C” Holmes earlier Tuesday, Aug. 10, the Bengals have signed James Johnson out of Kansas State.
Johnson (5-11, 205) was on the Beangals practice squad for all of the 2009 season. In 2008, he played in four games for Cincinnati, with nine rushing attempts for 29 yards and six receptions for 47 yards. Johnson was signed by Minnesota on Jan. 22 of this year and was released on June 15.
Johnson will help fill a void created by injuries this weekend. Veteran Brian Leonard suffered a foot injury and will be out for an undetermined amount of time.
The team released rookie running back Cordera Eason of Mississippi in the “waived/injured” category. Eason suffered a foot injury during this past Sunday’s game against Dallas. If Eason clears waivers tomorrow, he will revert to the Bengals’ Reserve/Injured list.
Johnson (5-11, 205) was recently released from the Vikings. He played four games for Cincinnati at the end of the 2008 season and spent much of the 2009 season on the Bengals’ practice squad.
