Bengals waive Lewis-Harris, promote Troy Hill

Due to a bevy of injuries in the secondary, the Cincinnati Bengals promoted rookie cornerback Troy Hill off the practice squad and waived cornerback Chris Lewis-Harris to add depth for Sunday's game in Cleveland.

The Bengals had signed veteran Asa Jackson to the practice squad on Monday, but the team felt he wasn't ready to play both defense and special teams. Hill has been with the team since the start of the season when he was signed out of Oregon as an undrafted free agent. The Youngstown native played in all four preseason games.

Any team can put in a claim on Lewis-Harris, but if he clears waivers the team will look into re-signing him next week.

Starting cornerbacks Adam Jones (foot) and Dre Kirkpatrick (ankle) appeared on the injury report, as did nickel back Leon Hall (back).
