CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals put quarterback Matt Barkley on injured reserve Daniel Jones Jersey , leaving Jeff Driskel as the backup to Andy Dalton heading into the season.Barkley hurt his left knee during the Bengals’ preseason finale Thursday night against Indianapolis. Kemoko Turay hit Barkley in the legs after he threw a pass, drawing a roughing-the-passer penalty. Barkley left to get the knee examined and didn’t return.Driskel is a third-year player who broke the thumb on his passing had in the final preseason game last year and sat out the season. He has never appeared in an NFL game. The Bengals also waived seventh-round pick Logan Woodside, who is eligible to be signed to the practice squad if he clears waivers on Sunday.The backup quarterback spot opened when AJ McCarron won his grievance and became a free agent after last season.The Bengals also released 10th-year defensive end Michael Johnson as part of their moves to get down to the 53-man limit, although it could be a temporary separation. Johnson becomes a free agent and could re-sign with Cincinnati for lesser money.Johnson has played all but one of his nine seasons with Cincinnati. He led the defensive line with 49 tackles and five sacks last season. The Bengals have infused young pass rushers into their rotation, including Carl Lawson and Jordan Willis.Coach Marvin Lewis described Johnson as “one of those pillars who has been here and given everything he can.” Lewis indicated the Bengals are open to his return as they shape the roster over the next few days.The move with Johnson came four days after the Bengals gave multiyear extensions to defensive end Carlos Dunlap and tackle Geno Atkins. The deals would pay more than $100 million combined if all terms are met.The Bengals allowed cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones to leave as a free agent in the offseason and released safety George Iloka, making the defense younger while saving money. Jones signed with Denver Ed Oliver Jersey , and Iloka signed with Minnesota.H-back Ryan Hewitt and center T.J. Johnson also were released on Saturday. Hewitt was primarily a blocker — no carries and two catches last season — while Johnson became expendable when the Bengals drafted center Billy Price in the first round.Linebacker Vontaze Burfict went on the suspended list. He’ll miss the first four games for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances, the third year in a row that he’s suspended for the start of a season.Cincinnati opens the season on Sunday, Sept. 9 at Indianapolis, which expects to have Andrew Luck back at quarterback for the first time in more than 20 months. Luck has recovered from a shoulder injury that required surgery.The teams played in the regular season last year as well, with the Bengals winning 24-23 at Paul Brown Stadium on Dunlap’s interception return for a touchdown. So much has been made about the struggles and eventual quarterback transition for the Giants offense that little has been said about the potential defensive deficiencies, especially with the offseason departures of defensive end Olivier Vernon and safety Landon Collins. The Giants hope newcomer Markus Golden will help the defense regain some of its bite.“He’s a double-digit sack guy http://www.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-cody-ford-jersey ,” Giants outside linebackers coach Mike Dawson said this week, via Paul Schwartz of the . “Once you guys watch him train and watch the way that he plays, and you go back and watch his pre-injury film, just the way he’s all over the field in the run game and the pass game. When the ball is down the field, he’s backside chasing that thing like a mad man. That intensity and that level of effort he plays with is going to lead to production with him.”Golden suffered a torn ACL in the fourth game of the 2017 season; the prior season, he generated double-digit sacks Devin Singletary Jersey , with 12.5. In eleven games last year with the Cardinals, Golden had only 2.5 sacks.“I wasn’t 100 percent,” Golden said, via Schwartz. “I still had a brace on. If I wouldn’t have worked hard I could sit there and be sad about it, but when you put all the work in and grind it out, you got no choice but to be happy with yourself and move on.”He moved on to the Giants after four years in Arizona Kyler Murray Jersey , and the goal is to re-establish himself on a one-year, $3.75 million deal that, if he thrives, could put Golden in line for a big payday in 2020.“Don’t ever forget that before [the knee injury] that he was one of the best pass rushers in this league,” said defensive coordinator James Bettcher, who served as defensive coordinator in Arizona before joining the Giants in 2018. “I love how he is moving right now and I love his work. He is a guy that is going to play exceptionally hard. One of the identifying qualities we needed our defense to look like was . . . relentless — work relentless and play relentless. I think that is probably the epitome of Markus.”The Giants need some relentlessness on defense. The better the defense performs http://www.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-dawson-knox-jersey , the easier it will be for the offense to perform at an adequate level.
