Bengals land Vernon Hargreaves and activate Hakeem Adeniji

The Cincinnati Bengals have made another notable addition via the waiver wire.

This time, Cincinnati claimed cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III off of waivers from the Houston Texans, the team announced Thursday.

In addition, Cincinnati also announced that offensive tackle Hakeem Adeniji was returning to the active roster.

To make room, the team waived defensive end Darius Hodge and cornerback Nick McCloud.

Hargreaves, a sixth-year player by way of the University of Florida Gators, was originally a first-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2016. He has played in 65 career games (57 starts) with Tampa Bay and Houston, recording 273 tackles, four interceptions, 31 pass deflections, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
