The Cincinnati Bengals are adding to their offensive line, according to an Aug. 27 report from league insider Jordan Schultz.
Citing sources, Schultz reported the Bengals were signing the former Minnesota Vikings guard, Dalton Risner. Cincinnati had reportedly hosted Risner for a visit as they attempted to court him for his services earlier this month.

Risner played guard throughout his six NFL seasons. The 6-foot-5, 312-pound Risner has played in 25 games over the past two seasons for the Vikings, with 19 starts.
With the Denver Broncos for the first four seasons of his NFL career, he started all 62 games he played in.
The would-be signing comes after the Bengals retained just eight offensive lineman at the Aug. 26 roster cut deadline.
The Enquirer will update this report.
