The 25-year-old Kumerow was waived from the Cincinnati Bengals' injured reserve list in September, where he initially signed in 2015 as a rookie free agent. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound receiver has not recorded any NFL stats. In three years with the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Kumerow caught 158 passes for 2,648 yards and 36 touchdowns. That included a 1,331-yard, 19-touchdown season in 2013. He followed that up with a 1,116-yard, 14-touchdown season for the Division III team.
