Cincinnati, OH (My Sportsbook) - The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed safety Chris Crocker and running back DeDe Dorsey on Friday.

The Bengals inked Crocker midway through last season. Over the final eight games, he logged 48 tackles, 1 1/2 sacks, one interception and a forced fumble. His forced fumble set up a touchdown against Washington in a December 14 win that helped spark the team to three straight wins in closing out a four-win season. Crocker finished with 14 tackles against the Redskins.

"Chris' game against Washington was as good a game by a safety as I can remember since I've been here," said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, "and for the whole second half of the season, he was a leader in the locker room as well as on the field. He was able to get up to speed with us very quickly, and he's still a relatively young player with a lot of good football left in him. Obviously, we're highly pleased to bring him back."

A six-year veteran, Crocker has 321 tackles, 7 1/2 sacks and eight interceptions over 82 career NFL games, including 58 starts, for Cincinnati, Miami, Atlanta and Cleveland.

Dorsey played in four games last season for Cincy, gaining just eight yards on five carries while catching two passes for 49 yards. The three-year pro has appeared in 29 career contests with the Bengals and Colts.
