Here is hoping for a healthy and productive day for the backups!

CINCINNATI — Joe Burrow is seemingly always confident, but that's never felt more true right now. He chatted with Sports Illustrated insider Albert Breer at Bengals training camp this summer and detailed how sound his abilities as a passer are entering a sixth NFL season.

Knight was asked about his defensive coordinator and had quite the comparison for him: legendary book and movie character James Bond. “He’s a calm, cool, and collected James Bond-type of guy,” Knight told Bengals' radio voice Dan Hoard. “A silent assassin. I love him.”

The Bengals won their first preseason game on Monday vs. the Commanders and had some good moments in doing so. But what happened at the beginning of the game has one particular sports analyst very worried about Cincinnati,

Yes, it is preseason, but the Washington Commanders and Jayden Daniels are making it really hard not to overreact to what has been put on the field, and the opening drive against the Cincinnati Bengals will have fans ecstatic with their 2025 prospects.

Let the tailgating begin! Here's a look at the weather forecast for the Cincinnati Bengals' home preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts.

If Knight misses notable time, Burks and perhaps Joe Giles-Harris could get looks in that spot, with rookie Barrett Carter and Maema Njongmeta also options. Linebacker has now entered the conversation as an injury concern for the Cincinnati Bengals ahead of the regular season.

A couple of receivers make strong cases while the starting defense is once again woeful in 31-17 win over the Commanders.

Bengals guard Cordell Volson will likely miss the 2024 season due to a shoulder injury requiring surgery. The Bengals are exploring options to replace Volson, including signing free agent Dalton Risner or making a trade. Volson's absence is a significant loss of experience for the Bengals' offensive line.
