Where he fits
Boye Mafe plays for the CIN as a DL, wearing number 53. He's in year 5 of his career.
His job: The team's own depth chart lists him first at left defensive end — that's the order they'd normally use.
Last time out: He was active but didn't record any counting stats. He was only on the field for about 0% of the offensive plays, so he is a situational piece right now.
He isn't on the official week 2 injury report — no designation was filed for him.
