More NFL: Guard Davis lands with Bengals

AUGUST 31, 2008

Former USF guard Frank Davis, cut Saturday by the Detroit Lions, wasn't out of a job long, as he was picked up off waivers by the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday as part of the team's initial 53-man roster.

Davis, who made Detroit's roster as an undrafted rookie, missed last season on injured reserve but is now back to full health. Here's the writeup from Bengals.com on his signing.

And curiously, former USF linebacker Ben Moffitt, cut by the Houston Texans on Friday, wasn't among seven players signed to the Texans' practice squad on Sunday, so if he is to stay in the NFL in some capacity this fall, it'll be with another organization. With Davis signed, USF is back up to seven alums on NFL rosters, plus cornerback Trae Williams on the Eagles' practice squad.
