Training camp is now bleeding into the preseason as the Cincinnati Bengals are getting prepared for their first exhibition of the year.
The Arizona Cardinals are coming into town Friday as the first opponents to play inside Paycor Stadium. But they won’t be playing many of the Bengals’ notable players.
Head coach Zac Taylor said during Wednesday’s press conference that any player entrenched in a starting role will not suit up vs. Arizona. This likely means the entire starting defense and nearly the entire starting offense will not play this week. No Ja’Marr Chase, Trey Hendrickson, Vonn Bell, etc.
