The Cincinnati Bengals’ 2021 preseason slate wraps up on Sunday afternoon against a familiar out-of-division opponent in the Miami Dolphins. Head coach Zac Taylor has faced his former employer twice since taking over in Cincinnati, but he hasn’t had the chance to play his franchise quarterback against them until now.
Taylor will deploy Joe Burrow for the first time since the 24-year old suffered his infamous injury last November. It’s the unofficial conclusion to Burrow’s recovery, as he’ll use this exhibition to get his feet wet for the regular season opener in two week’s time.
