Bengals designate Cedric Peerman (arm) as their I.R.-return player

The Cincinnati Bengals designated running back Cedric Peerman (arm) as their I.R.-return player.

What It Means:

The season-ending torn ACL to Giovani Bernard last week likely played a big role in this. Peerman will handle third back duties and play his normal special teams role.

The Bengals currently rank seventh in the league in schedule-adjusted Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play this season. Their opponent in Week 12 is a Baltimore Ravens team that ranks first in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP allowed per play.
