The Bengals have quite a few position battles going on for both starting and backup roster positions. Several of the players competing in those battles have stood out in the preseason and have taken a step toward securing a role that they may not have otherwise gotten. Every NFL team has injury issues that manifest at a particular position during the course of the season, so the Bengals need to be as confident as possible from top to bottom. The dress rehearsal preseason game is still to come so Bengals players on the bubble still have time to prove themselves.
