Greetings, Bengals fans! We’re inching closer and closer to the start of training camp and the beginning of the 2026 Bengals’ journey.

From top to bottom, this looks like one of the best Bengals teams assembled in recent memory, but it’s not without some question marks at several positions.

So, we want to know which projected Bengals starter is the likeliest to be benched in favor of someone else at some point this year.

The usual suspects are linebackers Demetrius Knight and Barrett Carter, both of whom endured rocky rookie seasons and are already firmly under the microscope entering Year...

Every time Joe Burow speaks, it’s worth paying attention to. It’s because he’s not shy of expressing his confidence, and also because he’s the face of the Bengals’ franchise.

There’s another player on the Bengals who, when he speaks, I listen. Orlando Brown Jr. is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and savvy. Brown speaks with eloquence, and I always learn something when I hear him speak. He’s awesome to listen to in interviews. Go back and listen to an on-the-spot interview he did with Dan Hoard in April on the Bengals Booth Podcast, and he talked about everything from football to everyday...

The Cincinnati Bengals are close to putting a bow on the 2026 offseason as training camp quickly approaches.

The Bengals front office went all in since missing the playoffs for the third straight season and has assembled a much-improved roster.

With that being said, the pressure is on for the players in the locker room to go out, win football games, and get the franchise back on track.

All of that starts with the leader, Joe Burrow.

ESPN recently shared the official quarterback rankings going into the 2026 season, voted on by NFL executives, coaches, and scouts across the league....

The Cincinnati Bengals spent years with stop-gaps at right tackle. Seemingly every offseason, fans were clamoring for them to sign veteran right tackles to help keep Joe Burrow upright. After years of Riley Reif, La’El Collins and Trent Brown, the Bengals appear to finally have their franchise right tackle.

Mims was thrust into starting action in his rookie season, much earlier than anyone expected. He showed promise instantly and has steadily improved each year. Now in Year 3, Mims looks to be primed for a huge 2026 campaign.

The starting offensive line from 2025 is all coming back, which is...

One of the more underrated position battles going into training camp will be between safeties Jordan Battle and Kyle Dugger. Battle was once viewed as a promising young safety when he first started getting playing time. However, like most of the defenders recently for the Bengals, he has fallen off a bit.

It is also becoming decision time for Cincinnati with Battle. He is set to hit free agency this offseason. Dugger came to the Bengals on a one-year contract as well. Fans may be jumping at the chance to have Battle replaced, but it is important to remember Dugger...

Ja’Marr Chase is one of the most talented players in the NFL, and the makers of Madden NFL 27 have reinforced that idea with their latest player rankings.

The star Cincinnati Bengals receiver received an overall Madden grade of 99, one of only six players to get such a high grade.

This comes following a year in which he only had Joe Burrow for eight games. Chase somehow managed to still put up 125 receptions for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns.

A lot of that production came with 40-year-old Joe Flacco at the helm. In fact, in their first three...

Brian Parler played center in high school and both left and right tackle in college, so naturally, the Bengals plan to play him at guard.

I kid, of course,

Parker lacks the length to play on the outside and projects well at guard.

He’s a Jersey boy by birth but went to high school at St. Xavier in Cincinnati. The Bengals used a sixth-round pick to bring him home.

In both the one-on-one and team clips above, you can see that Parker has quick feet.

You also see a couple of issues that he needs to work on. He lets...

The Cincinnati Bengals spent big this offseason to bolster their defense as they look to bounce back from a disappointing 2025 season. One of the biggest additions came at safety, as the Bengals brought in Bryan Cook from the Kansas City Chiefs.

That move is getting some major love early this preseason.

Matt Verderame of Sports Illustrated ranked his top five safety duos entering the 2026 season, with Cook and Jordan Battle making the list at No. 5. They join the Ravens (No. 2) as the only AFC North team on the list.

Here is what he had to say...

When the Cincinnati Bengals made the blockbuster decision to send the No. 10 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the New York Giants for Dexter Lawrence, reactions were understandably mixed.

Some questioned giving up premium draft capital for a veteran approaching 30 years old. Others viewed it as exactly the type of aggressive move Cincinnati needed after consecutive disappointing defensive seasons.

A few months later, one thing has become increasingly clear. The Bengals didn’t just acquire a good defensive tackle. They acquired one of the NFL’s elite players at the position.

That sentiment was reinforced this week when...

Andrew Coker was signed to the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad in late October of 2024. During the preseason last year, he looked like a player who had rapidly developed from his time at TCU. He was among the final cuts down to the 53-man roster last season, and then spent the entire 2025 season on the practice squad for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Andrew Coker

• Height: 6´7¨
• Weight: 315 pounds
• Age: 25 years old
• College: TCU
• Hometown: Katy, Texas
• Experience: 1 year

Coker signed a reserve/futures contract with the Bengals in...

Since Joe Burrow was drafted in 2020, the conversation about the Cincinnati Bengals offensive line has been non-stop.

Near the end of some seasons, it has felt like they’ve turned a corner. Every time, though, the 0-line was porous again at the start of the next season.

Last year, though, felt different. It seems the Bengals finally have a group with talent and chemistry at all five starting positions.

Amarius Mims is a rising star at right tackle. Dalton Risner held down the right guard spot after so much instability. Dylan Fairchild flashed enough to think he can be a...
