The Cincinnati Bengals have waived defensive end Tarell Basham, the team announced Friday.
Basham, who was signed to a minimum one-year deal this offseason, missed most of training camp and the preseason since July 27th, when he was carted off the practice field with a leg injury. He did return to practice on August 14th, but that injury still proved costly in his bid to make the 53-man roster.
Originally selected in the third round (80th overall) out of Ohio by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2017 NFL Draft, Basham has also played for the New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, and Tennessee Titans.
