The Bengals have waived rookie cornerback Corey Tindal, the team announced today.

Tindal earned a workout with the Bengals after the NFL Draft and then signed with the team in May. Though it's unclear if this has anything to do with his release, Tindal was a victim in an armed robbery last week. During the robbery, Tindal was playing poker in a motel in West Virginia around 1:00 a.m. During the robbery, Tindal was hit twice on the top of his head with the barrel of a pistol. The two suspects got away with $2,400 in cash, three cell phones and a set of rental car keys. Tindal will reportedly not face charges for gambling.

The former Marshall star was one of the best corners that Conference USA had to offer over the past three years, Tindal was a C-USA All-Freshman team pick in 2013 and earned honorable mentions the past two seasons.

After sitting his first year at Marshall (2012) as an academic non-qualifier, Tindal made an immediate impact as a redshirt freshman in 2013. He started 12 games, all at nickel, and was fifth among Herd in tackles with 61 (40 solos), including five tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and six pass breakups. In 2015, Tindal posted career highs in interceptions (two), pass breakups (15) and sacks (3) in 2015, helping the Herd to finish 25th in the FBS in passing yards allowed (191.9 per game) and 12th in scoring defense (17.8 points allowed per game). Tindal left Marshall after his junior season, forgoing his final year of college elligibility.

The Bengals now have only 89 men on their roster, with the potential to have 90. With training camp opening in less than two weeks, we can expect a signing to follow soon. It's possible that signing could be Leon Hall, who is still a free agent.
