Thursday night will be the first time we see how different the Cincinnati Bengals\u2019 approach in the preseason will be. Zac Taylor has said the starters will play more, and that will be the case when the Bengals open the preseason in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
While Joe Burrow, Ja\u2019Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins will play, Mike Gesicki and Noah Fant will not play Thursday night, as well as Cam Taylor-Britt, Dax Hill, BJ Hill, Marco Wilson, Matt Lee, and Cedric Johnson.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, Taylor did say that Gesicki and Lee would be questionable if it were a game week, signaling that their injuries aren\u2019t serious at this time.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what Taylor had to say about how much we will see the Bengals offense Thursday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t have this targeted as the biggest play time for our guys. We really picked Washington to be more of that. Another thing I hate to put in a stone – a couple of series, several series is what we\u2019ll give those starters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt could be a long possession that eats up most of the first quarter. Do you want them to get another one? I\u2019ve always been in these preseason situations, you\u2019re careful to say what I just said because it could go into the second quarter because of the reps that we\u2019ve gotten. But right now, that\u2019s about the target period that we\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tuesday\u2019s training camp practice was a light one in full pads, going for one hour and 40 minutes. It also included light scout team work on what Philadelphia will present Thursday night.<\/p>\n
There were a lot of individual drills Wednesday at practice with light work in 11-on-11.<\/p>\n
Edge rusher Cedric Johnson was walking through the locker room with a boot on his left foot, and Cam Taylor-Britt and Marco Wilson did not dress for practice Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thursday night will be the first time we see how different the Cincinnati Bengals\u2019 approach in the preseason…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267603,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[21233,25,7,6,242,109,2476],"class_list":{"0":"post-267602","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-eagles","8":"tag-cincinnati-bengals-injuries","9":"tag-eagles","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-philadelphia","13":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","14":"tag-philadelphiaeagles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114984506544869842","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
