The Bengals cut Zettel on Monday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zettel was signed last week and will be let go after just one contest. He played 31 of a possible 82 defensive snaps (38 percent), but he didn't record a tackle. His departure may signal Carlos Dunlap (knee) and/or Carl Lawson (hamstring) are near a return to action.
