BARTON BECOMES 22nd BENGAL

CLUB RECORD & LEAGUE LEADER
This just in from the desk of Bengals Public Relations Director Jack Brennan:
The Bengals today made the following roster moves:
• Placed G/OT Kirk Barton on the Reserve/Injured list.
Barton, a rookie from Ohio State, suffered a high ankle sprain Thursday in practice.
Kirk Barton
Barton entered the NFL this year as a seventh-round draft choice of Chicago and played in Chicago’s Sept. 7 season opener at Indianapolis.
Following stints on the rosters of Miami and San Francisco (no games played), he was signed by the Bengals on Nov. 28 from the Miami practice squad.
He was a Bengals game-day inactive last week vs. Baltimore.
• Signed rookie TB James Johnson to the roster from the Bengals practice squad.
Johnson (5-11, 202; Kansas State) originally signed with Cincinnati as a college free agent on May 2 of this year.
James Johnson
He played in all four preseason games, with 94 rushing yards on 21 carries (4.5) and two receptions for 10 yards.
He was waived on Aug. 30, and had been on the practice squad since Aug. 31.

WTH is it with this organization? Barton signs and gets IRed the next day? What kind of crap is this? Is the field so bad that players are getting injured walking onto it? This is beyond reasonable. Somebody needs to check this out.
