The Bengals claimed Fortt off waivers from the Saints on Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Caplan reports.

Selected 126th overall in this year's draft, Fortt is an impressive athlete at 6-foot-2, 248 pounds, but he's still very raw. While he was on the Saints' injured reserve/designated to return list, Fortt is expected to pass his physical and take the place of Sean Porter (knee) on the Bengals' roster.
