Bengals released CB Deltha O’Neal, LB Jim Maxwell, TE Nate Lawrie, G Nate Livings, T Dane Uperesa, G James Blair, DE Angelo Craig, DLs Anthony Hoke and Dan Howell, and WRs Maurice Purify and Clyde Logan.
O’Neal, 31, was penciled in as Cincy’s primary punt returner but that job may now go to receiver Antonio Chatman. Craig was a seventh-round pick.
