1 overlooked Bengals breakout explains recent surprise roster move
The Bengals made a surprising early cut. And part of the reason is simple: They have another breakout player.
The Cincinnati Bengals' recent decision to cut Cody Ford was influenced by the emergence of rookie cornerback Jacob Bayer. Although Bayer is not a well-known figure, he has been an impressive addition to the team's practice squad since joining in November last year. Sources suggest that Bayer was the primary second-team left guard after Ford's departure, as the team struggled with Ford's performance as a swing tackle and also at guard.
With Bayer's impressive performance, the Bengals seem to be positioning him as a potential primary backup alongside Connor Lew, Brian Parker, and Jalen Rivers on the interior.
