The Bengals made a series of roster moves Saturday, activating running back Cedric Peerman and signing long snapper Tyler Ott.

Peerman is also a key special teams player who went to the Pro Bowl last season for his special teams work. Ott is a first-year player who signed because regular long snapper Clark Harris is questionable for Sunday’s game at Baltimore with a groin injury.

The Bengals chose Peerman over first-round cornerback William Jackson III as their player to return from IR, presumably because of Giovani Bernard’s season-ending injury and because the Bengals are still mathematically alive in the playoff race.

The Bengals waived defensive tackle DeShawn Williams, a first-year player who’s been inactive for all 10 games this season.
