Bengals' Zac Taylor reveals surprise roster battle for training camp

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor isn’t kidding when he says the team will host competitions at every position this summer during training camp.

Case in point, Taylor made it clear during rookie minicamp that even the long-snapper spot is up for grabs after the arrival of undrafted free agent William Wagner.

According to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com, Taylor says that Wagner will have a chance to push Cal Adomitis for that starting spot.

A finalist for the Patrick Mannelly Award last year as the top player in the sport at his position, Wagner comes from the Michigan Wolverines and will get to rep alongside Adomitis.

This is a little unexpected for the Bengals, especially considering Clark Harris held down the position for so long from 2009-2022.

Notably, the Bengals had procedural issues on special teams before Evan McPherson’s injury last year, so while this isn’t as headline-grabbing as other positional battles, it’s certainly notable for a team that needs to get right across all three phases.
