Overview

• Cincinnati announced the deal Thursday after Risner’s Aug. 20 workout with the team.
• Coach Zac Taylor said Risner looks in shape and will practice in pads before the staff evaluates his role next week.
• The Bengals have not named a starter at right guard, with veterans Cody Ford and Lucas Patrick taking first-team reps in camp.
• Cordell Volson sustained a season-ending shoulder injury and was placed on injured reserve, and to make room for Risner the team waived defensive tackle Eric Gregory.
• Pro Football Focus credited Risner with allowing no sacks and just one quarterback hit last season across 537 snaps.
