Bengals release G Kooistra

CINCINNATI (AP) The Bengals have released offensive guard Scott Kooistra (KOO'-struh), ending his seven-year career in Cincinnati.

Kooistra was a seventh-round pick in 2003. He appeared in 82 games with Cincinnati, including two this season. He was inactive for the other five games.

The move on Tuesday left the Bengals (5-2) with an open roster spot.

The Bengals filled out their practice squad on Tuesday by signing rookie offensive tackle Gerald Cadogan, a free agent from Penn State who played in one preseason game with Carolina before he was waived.
