Cincy Jungle
The defense continues to hold its own against the high-powered Bengals offense.
One week away from their preseason opener, the Cincinnati Bengals were back on the practice field Thursday.
Some roster news broke before practice with the signing of Noah Fant, and head coach Zac Taylor seems excited to have him.
The Bengals moved practice indoors Thursday, presumably due to thunderstorms in the area.
Amarius Mims was not in uniform on Thursday, which will be something to keep an eye on.
With Mims out, rookie Jalen Rivers took snaps with the first team at right tackle.
Defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery worked with his unit, with Hendrickson looking on. While he isn’t suited up, Hendrickson remains engaged.
Hendrickson continued to work with rookie Shemar Stewart, as we saw Wednesday.
DJ Turner reportedly had a strong day, making a good play on a ball intended for Tee Higgins.
Rookie Demetrius Knight Jr. made a great play on a ball and Dax Hill’s quick reaction resulted in an interception.
The secondary seemed to have a really good day, but DJ Turner had a much needed big day.
All in all, it feels like the defense won the day, and against an offense as potent as the Bengals, that is a good sign.
