The Cincinnati Bengals added three players on waivers after making the 53-man roster, gaining a tight end and two linemen in the process.
They apparently were one of the many teams interested in tight end Trevon Wesco, too.

That would explain the waiver claim on Wednesday, plus the reported interest in still signing former first-round pick O.J. Howard.
