Releasing LB Jeanty helps Bengals reduce roster to 75 players

CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals have released fifth-year linebacker Rashad Jeanty, who broke his left leg on the opening kickoff in January's playoff loss to the New York Jets.

The Bengals said Monday that Jeanty was waived in the failed physical category, while second-year safety Tom Nelson went on the physically unable to perform list. Nelson is recovering from offseason knee surgery.

The moves reduced the Bengals' roster to 75 players.
