The Bengals are parting ways with another young linebacker. The team has waived sixth-round pick Deshaun Davis, per Tyler Dragon of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Can confirm that the Bengals have released sixth-round pick LB Deshaun Davis.

Davis is a likely candidate to end up on the Bengals’ practice squad, so this could be a short separation for both sides.
Viewed as a developmental player coming out of Auburn, it’s not too surprising to see the Bengals take what will most likely be the long-term approach in developing Davis.
