Cincinnati Bengals announce unofficial Week 1 depth chart

The Cincinnati Bengals caused a little stir with the release of the Week 1 depth chart that featured a pair of first-rounder players in backup positions.

Those Bengals, like many, consider depth charts a formality. They’re a little archaic, too, when a rookie first-rounder like Shemar Stewart, for example, gets listed as a “backup” and could still see a big chunk of snaps.

Alas, here’s a quick look at the depth chart the Bengals provided before Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns.
