Don’t expect to see any Bengals starters play again this preseason
We likely won’t be seeing Joe Burrow again until the regular season kicks off.
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor addressed the media on Thursday before a joint practice with the Chicago Bears, informing fans that no starters would take the field during the Saturday session, regardless of performance. This decision, likely influenced by the team's recent intense practice sessions, is expected to give bench players an opportunity to earn a spot in the rotation and potentially on the 53-man roster or practice squad.
Fresh faces such as Cashius Howell, Tacario Davis, Colbie Young, Landon Robinson, and Jack Endries could see increased playing time. However, with the team's preseason finale set for August 28 against the Philadelphia Eagles and the regular season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers scheduled for September 13, starters will not feature in the next two preseason games, a trend that appears unlikely to change.
The decision to keep starters out of the upcoming preseason games has been met with mixed reactions.
