Lassiter was waived by Cincinnati on Friday, according to the Bengals' official site.
Lassiter will be in search of a new squad after signing on with the Bengals in January. He'll be waived alongside fellow pass catcher Hakeem Butler, as the wide receiver room was packed this August.

Bengals' Kwamie Lassiter: Signs with Bengals
Rotowire
The Bengals signed Lassiter to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Lassiter stuck on with the Bengals' practice squad after being cut by the team at the conclusion of training camp. He was elevated for one game, when he played five offensive snaps and caught one pass for two yards. The wide receiver out of Kansas will have a chance to crack Cincinnati's 53-man roster in 2024.

Kwamie Lassiter: Goes back to practice squad
Rotowire
The Bengals reverted Lassiter to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Lassiter saw his first action of the season Sunday against Arizona and played five offensive snaps, catching his only target for two yards. His elevation was largely due to Tee Higgins sitting out the game with a rib fracture, and Lassiter's likelihood of being elevated for Week 6 against Seattle could again depend upon Higgins' status for that contest.

Bengals' Kwamie Lassiter: Elevated for Week 5
Rotowire
The Bengals elevated Lassiter from their practice squad Saturday.
This is the first time Lassiter has been elevated this season after returning to Cincinnati's practice squad in late August. The Kansas alum got into one contest with the Bengals last year, tallying eight offensive snaps and recording no stats in Week 12 against the Titans. Lassiter probably won't see a prominent role Sunday in Arizona, though his elevation may be an indication that Tee Higgins (ribs) is on the wrong side of questionable for the contest.

The Bengals signed Lassiter to their practice squad Wednesday.
Lassiter is no stranger to Cincinnati's practice squad, as he spent much of the 2022 campaign in the same role. He was active for one game and played eight offensive snaps last year, and there should be similar expectations for 2023.
