The Cincinnati Bengals are back at work on Saturday afternoon after their first preseason game versus the Eagles on Thursday night. All eyes are on the defense, as the Philadelphia backup offense moved well against many of Cincinnati’s starters.
Still, the Bengals were without the services of a handful of important starters on their first-team unit Thursday. Trey Hendrickson continues his contract stalemate with the club, while B.J.

There are opportunities for backups to shine right now, and it appears that PJ Jules is taking advantage.
