Joe Burrow staying late for throwing session spoils final roster call
Joe Burrow stayed late to throw with a Bengals roster bubble candidate who feels like he's now final-roster bound.
The Cincinnati Bengals have made one final roster decision with certainty. Wide receiver Dohnte Meyers is now on the team's roster, according to Sports Illustrated's Jay Morrison's report. The decision came after Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow stayed behind after Wednesday's practice for about 40 minutes to throw with Meyers. Meyers shared his perspective with WCPO's Caleb Noe, emphasizing a process-driven mindset over a results-driven approach.
If Meyers makes the team, he will be competing with Andrei Iosias and Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins for base-offense opportunities, and could potentially impact the roles of Charlie Jones and Ke Shawn Williams on the special teams returns unit. The only remaining obstacle for Meyers to secure his spot is the final preseason game.
