NFL: Bengals clear way for Huber to be their punter

Associated Press

CINCINNATI — The Bengals have released two punters, clearing the way for fifth-round draft pick Kevin Huber to take the job.

Kyle Larson and Ryan Plackemeier were let go Tuesday. The Bengals claimed Plackemeier off waivers on Feb. 13. He punted for Seattle and Washington last season.

Larson has been the Bengals' punter for the last five seasons. He averaged 39.5 yards on 100 punts last season.

Huber grew up in Cincinnati and attended the University of Cincinnati. He was an All-American last season.
