Andre Smith goes on IR

The Cincinnati Bengals placed former first-round pick Andre Smith on injured reserve Saturday because of a foot fracture.

Smith has been a huge disappointment in two years in Cincinnati, where the right tackle and former No. 6 overall pick battled injuries, weight issues and questions about his work ethic.

On Wednesday, Smith broke a bone in his left foot during practice for the second consecutive year.

Smith started the past three games at right tackle with mixed results, and the Bengals have a decision to make this offseason whether to extend his contract from four to six years.

Cincinnati signed cornerback Rico Murray from the practice squad to fill the roster spot.

The Bengals (2-6), who have lost five in a row, face the host Indianapolis Colts (5-3) on Sunday.
