Linebacker Corey Mays, who was waived by the Patriots prior to Monday night's game with the Bengals, has been claimed by Cincinnati.
The Bengals entered Monday's game with just four healthy linebackers and then lost two of them during the game.
Mays, who entered the league with the Patriots as a rookie free agent in 2006, opened last season on the practice squad. He ended up being promoted to the active roster and played in eight regular-season games, primarily on special teams. Mays also played in all three playoff games last year.
Mays was with the Patriots in training camp again this year and did not make the roster coming out of camp. He was signed to the practice squad and was promoted to the active roster before the season opener and has played sparingly, mostly on special teams.
