The Bengals also announced on Friday night that they placed safety Tony Dye on injured reserve. Defensive tackle Pat Sims was placed on the PUP list, meaning he'll be eligible to return after six games. Linebacker Dontay Moch is suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
