The Bengals signed Benewikere in February after he was released by Carolina. Benwikere played in all four preseason games, registering 11 tackles, four passes defended and a forced fumble. He was beaten for a pair of long passes Thursday in the 7-6 loss at Indianapolis, including the game’s only touchdown.
The Bengals receive a conditional late-round pick in 2018 from the Cowboys.
Also Saturday, rookie tight end Mason Schreck confirmed he has been placed on season-ending Injured Reserve with an MCL injury.
