Cincinnati Bengals fans may not see center Trey Hopkins or Joe Burrow dress for a preseason game. And that’s OK.
What Hopkins and Burrow have shown Zac Taylor in practice has been enough. The third-year head coach is confident he’ll have both in the starting lineup on Sept. 12 when the Bengals host the Minnesota Vikings, regardless of if they take a preseason snap or not.
It is undetermined at this point if either Hopkins or Burrow will play on Sunday when Cincinnati closes out its preseason against the Miami Dolphins.
“They've shown us enough to know that they’re going to be ready to play,” Taylor said.
