McCarron has a firm lock on the No. 2 spot in Cincinnati, and could move to starter depending on the Bengal's growing impatience with Andy Dalton.
Interesting stuff coming down the pipe from Cincinnati. When A.J. McCarron was drafted last season, it seemed clear early on that he was the Bengals' heir apparent, but would not be rushed to the field (injuries aside.) Well, he won't be toting the clipboard this season, as it looks like the Bengals will just be riding two quarterbacks on their 53-man roster.
