How good are the Bengals cornerbacks playing?
It was only the fourth practice, but it makes you think back to 2013, when they finished second in NFL defensive passer rating behind only the Super Bowl champion Seahawks.
Dre Kirkpatrick, installed as the starter in front of eight-year starter Leon Hall despite just five NFL starts, continued his hot play Tuesday with an interception in 11-on-11 against A.J. Green and a tipped ball on a two-point conversion.
But Hall and the rest of the cornerbacks aren’t going anywhere. Hall, a first-round pick in 2007, is playing his old slot position as well as a new spot at safety in the nickel package.
