The Cincinnati Bengals claimed wide receiver Jasper Collins off waivers from the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team announced.

Collins, who is in his second year in the league out of Division III Mount Union University, was signed as an undrafted free agent last year by the Miami Dolphins. He was placed on injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury in training camp.

Collins later signed with the Cleveland Browns on their practice squad after reaching an injury settlement with Miami. He was later released and signed by Pittsburgh to a futures contract in February.
