As the period of darkness over the NFL comes to a close with the dawn of training camps, the Bengals have a few major positional questions that need answers. Linebacker is among the biggest.
With the departure of A.J. Hawk and the suspensions of Vontaze Burfict and Taylor Mays, there’s more than one major gap at outside linebacker for the Bengals. Until Burfict returns from suspension in Week 4, either PJ Dawson, Nick Vigil, Trevor Roach, Karlos Dansby, or Vincent Rey will have to step up.
