Bengals former starter Germaine Pratt already cut from new team

Of the many moves the Cincinnati Bengals made this past offseason, moving on from veteran linebacker Germaine Pratt was by far one of the least controversial.

Roughly one month into the season, the Bengals got a little reassurance on the validity of that move with the news going out that the Las Vegas Raiders have already released Pratt.

Raiders head coach Pete Carroll and the team announced the move after Pratt didn’t travel with the team last week despite being healthy.

Those Raiders are 1-4, so it’s pretty interesting that they’re cutting ties with talent at all, let alone veterans at areas of need.

The Bengals, meanwhile, continue to get impressive returns from second-round rookie Demetrius Knight, the guy they drafted to immediately fill Pratt’s void in the defense.

Fellow rookie Barrett Carter has been getting some notable reps in Al Golden’s defense, too.
