Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson will be back for the 2022-2023 season at Paycor Stadium.
Even with a new house name, Paycor Stadium will have plenty of familiar faces.
The Cincinnati Bengals finalized the 53-player regular-season roster during the NFL's final cut-down day Aug. 30. As with other NFL teams, the Bengals' roster downsized from 90 to 53 players over a series of three mandated cut dates, with the third happening by 4 p.m. Tuesday.
NFL teams can carry 53 players plus a 16-player practice squad. Only 47 or 48 players will suit up for each game.
Overall, the Bengals team that battled the Los Angeles Rams at Super Bowl LVI in February remains intact. One touching bit of news: Kevin Huber, who penned a moving, emotional first-person piece for The Players' Tribune during the team's playoff run, retains his punter slot over the first-year Drue Chrisman. Huber, 37, is entering his 14th season with the Bengals and is a Cincinnati native, having attended McNicholas High School in Mount Washington as well as the University of Cincinnati.
According to Bengals.com writer Geoff Hobson, the team retains 72% of its much-celebrated Super Bowl roster as it heads into the regular season. Additional cuts and moves will happen this week.
