The Cincinnati Bengals had their hardest practice of training camp thus far on Thursday.
Due to the number of snaps taken, head coach Zac Taylor decided to give a few players a day off from practice on Friday. Defensive tackle DJ Reader and defensive end Joseph Ossai didn’t practice but were at practice. Neither player was doing rehab which signals it was likely a day off for load management.
The Bengals’ Wednesday practice lasted over two hours in the middle of the blazing heat going for 14 periods total.

"That was meant to be our longest day we've had so far, you know, a lot more unscripted, call-it periods," Taylor said.
