Brad Robbins has been waived by the Bengals, marking the end of his tenure with the team after being selected in the sixth round of the 2023 draft. He was activated from Injured Reserve before the waiver, a procedural move that allows him to pursue opportunities with other teams. Robbins had been sidelined due to a hip flexor injury, and while he was expected to compete for the punter position, rookie Ryan Rehkow's exceptional performance has solidified his role. The Bengals opted to waive Robbins now to give him a chance to audition elsewhere, rather than keeping him on IR as a contingency.
