Trent

Trent, 25, was the Bengals’ sixth-round pick in 2009 and saw significant playing time for some stretches in Cincinnati. The Jaguars’ season is in the books, so they’re giving Trent a late-season look-see for 2012.

The former Bengal was just signed last week. He doesn’t appear in the box score for the 17-3 loss to the Jaguars.

The injury-prone yet versatile defensive back appeared in four games with six tackles in Cincinnati this season. He’ll add depth and much-needed size as a reserve corner.

Trent has now worked out for three teams in the past week, with the Eagles and Rams being the others, but has yet to draw a contract offer. According to Scout.com, the Falcons also worked out free agent CBs Robert McClain, Brian Williams and Nathan Jones.

Trent is the odd man out as the Bengals needed to cut someone in order to active Cedric Benson. Trent appeared in four games this season as a strict reserve, recording six tackles. He was inactive in Week 8, possibly due to an ankle injury.

A former sixth-round pick, Trent has tallied six tackles in seven games between the Bengals and Colts this season. The Rams decided not to sign Trent despite placing their 10th cornerback of the season on injured reserve today, but he could get a call whenever number 11 inevitably goes down.

The former Bengals sixth-rounder recorded 16 tackles and two interceptions in 12 games with Cincinnati, Indy, and Jacksonville last season. CB Dontrell Johnson, undrafted out of Murray State, was re-signed to take Trent’s roster spot.

At 6-foot-1, 193, Trent gives Washington another long, if leggy cornerback to go with Kevin Barnes. Better off as a special teamer, Trent is on his fourth NFL team since being drafted in the 2009 sixth round. He shouldn’t make the 53.

Trent was actually released with a settlement after suffering a left knee injury in Washington’s preseason opener against Buffalo. Most of the other players here were UDFA rookies. Lee was a poor fit for the zone-blocking scheme.

According to ESPN, the Lions worked out nine free agent defensive backs. It probably means at least one of LCB Chris Houston (ankle) and FS Louis Delmas (knee) is unlikely to return in Week 2.
