Rodney Anderson: Cut loose by Cincy
The Bengals released Rodney Anderson (knee) on Monday with a failed physical designation.Though Anderson missed most of his final season at Oklahoma with a torn ACL, the Bengals thought enough of his potential to select him in the sixth round of the 2019 draft. He was cleared for full activity last August, but he appeared in just two preseason games before he tore the ACL in the same knee again. Anderson has worked hard in his rehab over the past year, but he didn't make enough progress in his recovery to get the green light for training camp. Unless another team puts in a waiver claim for Anderson, he'll revert to the Bengals' injured reserve list and miss at least the first eight weeks of the season.

Bengals' Rodney Anderson: Shifts to PUP list
The Cincinnati Bengals placed Rodney Anderson (knee) on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.Anderson saw his rookie campaign cut short last August when he re-tore the ACL in his right knee, the same injury that ended his collegiate career at Oklahoma. The 2019 sixth-round pick has been participating in limited on-field work for his rehab since March, including running and cutting, but he's not yet ready to return to practice with teammates. When healthy, Anderson could compete for the No. 2 role behind Joe Mixon, but if he isn't ready to go by Week 1, he'll face the risk of starting the season on the reserve/PUP list and missing at least six games.

Bengals' Rodney Anderson: Approaching rehab with caution
Rodney Anderson (knee) is taking a slower approach to his current ACL rehab, perhaps hoping for a mid-August debut, Geoff Hobson of the Cincinnati Bengals' official website reports. "I'm taking everything slow," Anderson said. "Doing it the right way, taking as much time as I need no matter what."Once viewed as a potential first-round pick, Anderson fell to the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft after suffering a torn ACL in September 2018, his third season-ending injury in a span of four years at Oklahoma. He then re-tore the same ligament in the final week of the 2019 preseason, landing on injured reserve for his rookie campaign. Anderson has since resumed running and cutting, but he's in no rush to get back on the practice field. He and fellow 2019 draft pick Trayveon Williams could end up battling for the No. 3 running back job behind veterans Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard, assuming the latter isn't an offseason cap casualty.

Bengals' Rodney Anderson: Confirmed with ACL tear

Bengals' Rodney Anderson: Injures right knee
Rodney Anderson won't return to Thursday's preseason game against the Colts due to a right knee injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.Anderson tore the ACL in his right knee in the second game of the 2018 season, which would mark his final collegiate contest. After declaring for the NFL and getting drafted in the sixth round by the Cincinnati Bengals in April, he kicked off training camp on the non-football injury list and didn't make an in-game appearance until preseason Week 3. With a potential aggravation on tap, Anderson's prospects to kick off the campaign now are in question.

Bengals' Rodney Anderson: Mixed bag in NFL debut
Rodney Anderson (knee) made his NFL debut in Thursday's 25-23 preseason loss to the Giants, gaining seven yards on eight carries and catching all four of his targets for 51 yards.Anderson turned in a forgettable performance on the ground in his return from a torn ACL, but the rookie was effective as a pass-catcher out of the backfield. The 2019 sixth-rounder out of Oklahoma was once a highly-touted prospect before his injury troubles, so Cincinnati will likely hang onto Anderson and allow him to get back to full strength in a depth role behind workhorse Joe Mixon and pass-catcher Giovani Bernard. Such an arrangement wouldn't offer much short-term fantasy value, though.

Bengals' Rodney Anderson: Not playing Saturday
Rodney Anderson (knee) won't play in Saturday's preseason tilt against the Chiefs, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.Anderson is only a day removed from being cleared to practice, so it's no surprise that he isn't yet ready for preseason action. The rookie sixth-round pick is coming back from a torn ACL, and it wouldn't be surprising if he were limited throughout the entire preseason. Anderson will focus his attention towards getting healthy for the regular season.
