Bengals re-sign defensive tackle, put cornerback on IR

The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed defensive tackle DeShawn Williams on Monday and placed cornerback Chykie Brown on season-ending Injured Reserve.

Williams rejoins the team after he was waived Saturday when the Bengals brought long-snapper Tyler Ott off the practice squad to replace the injured Clark Harris.

An undrafted college free agent out of Clemson, Williams spent 2015 on the Bengals practice squad and was inactive for the first 10 games this season.

Brown suffered a season-ending knee injury in second quarter while covering a punt. He appeared in five games this season with one tackle on defense one on special teams.
