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.

When are we going to cut JT Osullivan? He is worthless as a backup.

Poor Sam, he comments on things he knows nothing about. The Bengals were AFC NORTH Champs last season, they SWEPT the AFC North. Now, look in the mirror Sammie - who is the LOSER?

The Browns and Steelers had nice playoff runs last year - oh wait… in their dreams. They watched it on TV.

I’m mostly disappointed by the possible season ending injury to Brian Leonard. The dude is so talented and athletic, and plays the game with all out effort all the time. The guy hurdles defenders and was a great 3rd down threat who always got extra yardage after the catch and run. I hope he can get back on the field and soon.
