EDGE Analysis

The Bengals cut Sims after it became clear a calf injury would prevent him from playing in Sunday's eventual win over the Broncos.

Sims is dealing with what appears to be a minor ankle issue, putting his availability for Week 2 in question. If he's forced to miss time or see a limited snap count, DeShawn Williams would be next in line to receive additional reps at defensive tackle.

The Bengals have signed Sims, the team's official site reports. Sims, who spent the last two seasons with the Raiders, returns to the Bengals for a second stint. The 6-2, 310-pound defensive tackle, who was a third-round pick of Cincinnati in 2008, is coming off a 2014 season in which he recorded just 25 tackles in 16 games for Oakland. "Pat was a good player for us here and we think he can fill a role for us this year," Bengals defensive line coach Jay Hayes noted of the signing. "He lends a physical dimension. He's a very aggressive run player, and we're happy to have him back."

Raiders re-signed DT Pat Sims to a one-year contract. It's a quality signing by Oakland after Sims proved a valuable run defender in 2013. Still only 28 years old, Sims will leave the field on passing downs again, but is a true lane clogger in the middle. The Raiders' D-Line is shaping up as RE LaMarr Woodley, LE Justin Tuck, DT Antonio Smith, and NT Sims.
