The Cincinnati Bengals have waived defensive tackle Dante Barnett, the team announced on Tuesday.
Barnett, a rookie from Birmingham, England, signed with the Bengals in May as a participant of the International Player Pathway Program. He would not count for a normal roster spot unless he were to make the 53-man roster. He could also remain with the team all season as a designated 17th practice squad player, but it appears the Bengals are no longer interested in this.
Barnett is a descendant of Jamaica but grew up in Birmingham, England, where he began playing American football as a teenager.
