On the first play of 11-on-11 drills at Wednesday's practice, defensive back Chidobe Awuzie stepped in front of Ja'Marr Chase and intercepted Bengals quarterback Jake Browning.
It's a play that sums up the near month since Joe Burrow's calf injury and the battle between Browning and veteran Trevor Siemian for the backup quarterback spot. Neither has seized any momentum for the roster spot, whether in practice or in two preseason games as both have been given a split share of reps with the first-team offense.
