The Cincinnati Bengals are expected to release veteran linebacker Germaine Pratt, according to an NFL Network report.

In the wake of a youth movement with Golden's arrival, the Bengals drafted Demetrius Knight in the second round and Barrett Carter in the fourth, plus added Oren Burks and Joe Giles-Harris in free agency to rebuild the unit around Logan Wilson. The Bengals save roughly $5.8 million in cap space with Pratt's release.
