The Bengals added a cornerback on Monday, acquiring third-year pro Rashad Bauman off waivers from the Washington Redskins.
Receiver Maurice Mann, a fifth-round draft pick from Nevada this year, was waived to open a roster spot.
Bauman was the Redskins' third-round pick in 2002. He was used primarily as an extra cornerback in passing situations, appearing in 28 games and starting three over the last two seasons.
The Bengals also signed seven players to their practice squad: linebacker Allen Augustin from Florida State; receiver Jamall Broussard from San Jose State; offensive lineman Pete Lougheed from Purdue; defensive end Elton Patterson from Central Florida; defensive end Greg Scott from Hampton; linebacker Larry Stevens from Michigan, and receiver Cliff Russell from Utah.
Everyone except Russell played for the Bengals during the preseason. Russell played in three games for Washington last season and was waived by the Redskins.

The news of Bauman being picked up by the Bungals was mentioned in both threads Jake noted so technically it was a scoop. Ant found another source. All good reporting should be backed up by atleast two additional sources. So now we can beleive it
