CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals placed tight end Ben Utecht on the injured reserve list Monday, ending his season.

Utecht suffered a severe concussion during practice Aug. 5, when he was taken from the field in an ambulance. He hasn't been able to practise, prompting the move.

The Bengals also waived tight end Matt Sherry with a shoulder injury. If he clears waivers Tuesday, he'll revert to the Bengals' injured reserve list.

The Bengals lost starting tight end Reggie Kelly to a torn Achilles tendon at the start of training camp, leaving them with very little experience at the position.
