Calhoun

Bengals claimed Calhoun off waivers from Miami to open the season but failed to get him a single regular-season snap through three games. Guard Keaton Sutherland was promoted in a corresponding move.

The Bengals had first waiver priority. The undrafted Calhoun was active for 10 games with Miami last year. He’ll add depth behind Michael Jordan, Xavier Su’a-Filo, and Billy Price.

Calhoun (6’3/310) made 36 starts on the Bulldogs’ front five, earning second-team All-SEC from the conference’s coaches as a senior and surrendering just three career sacks, mostly playing right guard. Calhoun helped himself by testing as a 72nd-percentile athlete in Indy, but he best projects as a multi-position reserve with minimal odds of becoming more than a replacement-level starter.
