Cincinnati Bengals Waive Former Ohio State Offensive Lineman Michael Jordan

The 23-year-old can now be claimed by another NFL team within the next 24 hours.

According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Cincinnati Bengals have waived former Ohio State offensive lineman Michael Jordan.

The 6-foot-6 and 315-pound Jordan was a fourth-round pick (No. 136 overall) of the Bengals in the 2019 NFL Draft. He’s appeared in 27 games over the last two seasons, including 19 starts, but was passed on the depth chart during preseason camp by veteran Xavier Su'a-Filo and rookie Jackson Carman.

A former four-star prospect from Canton (Mich.) Plymouth, Jordan started every game of his career with the Buckeyes from 2016-18, including 27 games at left tackle and 14 games at center, and was named first-team All-American during his junior season.

Jordan is the second former Buckeye to depart Cincinnati in the last 24 hours, as the Bengals traded Billy Price to the New York Giants on Monday afternoon in preparation for today’s 53-man roster deadline.
