Joe Burrow’s coaches could be getting a small shakeup.
Dan Pitcher is still around as the offensive coordinator. And Brad Kragthorpe is the QB coach, like he was last year.
But assistant QB coach Fredi Knighton is no longer on the official Cincinnati Bengals website, as noted by James Rapien of Bengals OnSI.

That could mean a number of things.
Knighton could have gotten a promotion elsewhere. Or the Bengals might have just desired to bring in someone new. Or they could go without an assistant QB coach this year.
Rapien also pointed out that the Bengals are hiring Davis Koetter to be their assistant wide receivers coach, according to Tom Pelissero.
That is the same position that Jordan Salkin officially holds on the website right now, Rapien noted. “Could Salkin be replacing Knighten?” the writer asked.
Perhaps another question to ask would be whether this has something to do with the seemingly-inevitable departure of offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher.

We should have the answer to the first question soon, but the answer to the second may take another year or so.
