The Cincinnati Bengals are a team of contradictions, and not in a good way.
On paper, they have an explosive offense, but where was it in Week 1?
Twelve rookies made the final roster, but where are they?
First-round selection Amarius Mims was injured and did not play.
Second-round pick Kris Jenkins... ditto.
Third-round pick Jermaine Burton was active but saw little action and no targets.
Fellow 3rd round pick Jackson McKinley is on the IR.
Ay Caramba!
While rookies like Daijahn Anthony and Josh Newton saw some action, the only rookie to record a stat was undrafted punter Ryan Rehkow.
