Bengals starting FB Jeremi Johnson has been placed on IR after suffering a knee injury in practice Monday. Johnson spent much of training camp on the sidelines after he came in overweight. Second-year man Daniel Coats, an undrafted free agent in 2007 who played at tight end last season, and worked at FB all summer in a bid to stay on the roster, looks to be the starter against the Ravens this Sunday.
Update: The Bengals have signed former Dolphin Reagan Maui’a to fill Johnson’s place. Maui’a appeared in all 16 games, with 9 starts, for Miami last year.
