The Bengals Defense Keeps Giving Joe Burrow SERIOUS Problems...

0 views · August 18th, 2026

The Cincinnati Bengals defense continues to be one of the biggest stories of training camp, and another strong practice against Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense has created an important question ahead of Thursday's joint practice with the Chicago Bears: Is this defensive improvement for real? John Sheeran breaks down the biggest takeaways from Bengals training camp as Cincinnati prepares for what could be one of its most important practices of the entire 2026 preseason. D.J. Turner continues to lead the way. Turner has consistently made plays throughout Bengals training camp despite ongoing questions surrounding a potential contract extension. John explains why Turner's ability to compete against Ja'Marr Chase and Cincinnati's talented wide receiver room day after day has been one of the most impressive developments of camp — and why extending the young cornerback should remain a major priority for the Bengals. Tuesday was another strong day for Cincinnati's secondary and defensive front. Joe Burrow connected frequently with Ja'Marr Chase, but the Bengals offense struggled to consistently generate production elsewhere. Tight coverage from the secondary combined with pressure from a defensive front featuring Dexter Lawrence II, Jonathan Allen and Kris Jenkins Jr. continued a theme we've seen throughout training camp: Cincinnati's defense is making things difficult for its own offense. Boye Mafe also delivered another encouraging moment, and John explains why there's an overlooked part of Mafe's game Bengals fans shouldn't ignore. Mafe was brought to Cincinnati in part to help replace the pass-rushing production lost with Trey Hendrickson, but his ability as a run defender could become just as important. John explains why Mafe's ability to set the edge, shed blocks and make plays against the run could give Cincinnati something different at the position in 2026. There were encouraging developments deeper on the roster as well. Dohnte Meyers continues to make plays with the second-team offense, while Josh Newton recorded an interception and continues fighting to stay alive in Cincinnati's crowded cornerback competition. There are still legitimate questions about the Bengals offense, particularly the offensive line, running game and Cincinnati's ability to close games with its four-minute offense. That's what makes Thursday's Bengals-Bears joint practice so important. Instead of measuring Cincinnati's defense against Joe Burrow and its own offense again, the Bengals will finally get an opportunity to test the unit against Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson and Chicago's offense. If Cincinnati's defense continues creating pressure, covering receivers and controlling the run against another team's starters, the conversation surrounding this Bengals defense could begin to change significantly.

The Bengals Have 4 Players Making A SERIOUS Roster Push...

The Cincinnati Bengals' first preseason game revealed much more about the team's real roster hierarchy than the first official depth chart did, and four players may have significantly improved their chances of making Cincinnati's final 53-man roster. John Sheeran breaks down four Bengals who are making a legitimate late push for roster spots after training camp and Cincinnati's preseason opener against the Detroit Lions: Jacob Bayer, Swayze Bozeman, Kendall Milton and Russ Yeast. Jacob Bayer has quietly spent much of the offseason working as the Bengals' backup center, and his usage against Detroit reinforced that standing. Despite rookie Connor Lew being listed ahead of him on Cincinnati's initial depth chart, Bayer was the first center off the bench. He later moved to left guard when Brian Parker II took over at center, showing the positional versatility that could become extremely valuable when the Bengals make their final offensive line decisions. Could Bayer even threaten the roster spots of Cody Ford or Jalen Rivers? John explains why he currently considers Bayer one of Cincinnati's 10 best offensive linemen. At linebacker, Swayze Bozeman may be much closer to the roster than the Bengals' official depth chart suggested. Bozeman worked with Cincinnati's second-team defense against Detroit and has special teams experience that could help separate him in a crowded competition. John explains why Bozeman now makes his latest 53-man roster projection. Kendall Milton may have created the most interesting competition of the four. The former Georgia running back finished with only 21 yards on 10 carries against Detroit, but the box score doesn't tell the entire story. Milton forced missed tackles, created yards after contact and received more opportunities than the Bengals' other reserve running backs. Has Milton done enough to legitimately challenge Tahj Brooks for a roster spot behind Chase Brown? Finally, Russ Yeast made one of the biggest plays of Cincinnati's preseason opener with a late interception against Detroit. Yeast still faces a difficult battle in a Bengals safety room that includes Brian Cook, Jordan Battle, Kyle Dugger and P.J. Jules, but his previous NFL experience and defensive ability could make the final safety competition worth watching over Cincinnati's final two preseason games. The Bengals have less than two weeks before the NFL's final roster cutdown, and these four players suddenly have a much more realistic opportunity than they appeared to have entering training camp. John Sheeran breaks down what changed, who they're competing against and what each player must do over the final two preseason games to make Cincinnati's 53-man roster.

The Cincinnati Bengals open the 2026 preseason against the Detroit Lions on Thursday night, and while Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and the Bengals' stars will get plenty of attention, some of the most important performances could come after the starters leave the field. John Sheeran breaks down five Bengals players he'll be watching closely against Detroit, starting with one of the biggest surprises of Cincinnati Bengals training camp: wide receiver Dohnte Meyers. Meyers has continued to make plays throughout camp after taking an unconventional path to Cincinnati through the CFL. Now comes the real test. Can he translate that training camp momentum into preseason production and make a legitimate push for one of the Bengals' final wide receiver spots? Rookie tight end Jack Endries is another player with plenty at stake. Cincinnati has a crowded tight end room, and Endries hasn't generated the same training camp buzz as some other Bengals rookies. His versatility, blocking ability and similarities to Erick All Jr.'s role could still give him a path to the roster, but the preseason represents a major opportunity to prove his value. John also takes a closer look at rookie offensive lineman Brian Parker II. The sixth-round pick has worked at multiple positions during Bengals training camp, including both guard spots, and Thursday will give us our best opportunity yet to evaluate how the former Duke offensive lineman handles NFL competition. Then there's Kris Jenkins Jr. Entering his third NFL season, Jenkins has received opportunities with Cincinnati's first-team defensive line during training camp. With the Bengals adding Dexter Lawrence II and Jonathan Allen this offseason, John explains why it's time to see whether Jenkins can take the developmental leap Cincinnati has been waiting for. Finally, Josh Newton enters the preseason facing legitimate roster pressure. After getting an opportunity with the first-team defense this week and making plays against Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, can Newton carry that momentum into Thursday night's game? With a crowded Bengals cornerback room, his preseason performance could determine whether he remains in Cincinnati. John Sheeran breaks down all five players, what they need to show against the Lions and why the most interesting part of the Bengals' preseason opener might begin after the biggest stars leave the field. 0:00 Bengals vs. Lions preseason opener 1:05 Why the backups matter most 1:59 Dohnte Meyers 3:44 Jack Endries 5:43 Brian Parker II 6:58 Kris Jenkins Jr. 8:54 Josh Newton 10:05 Bengals-Lions game preview A to Z Sports Cincinnati brings Bengals fans analysis, opinions, roster breakdowns, training camp coverage and reaction throughout the 2026 NFL season.

What have we learned about the Cincinnati Bengals through the first two weeks of training camp? John Sheeran breaks down the five biggest Bengals training camp takeaways so far and what they could mean for Cincinnati heading into the 2026 season. The defense has provided plenty of reasons for optimism, led by Dexter Lawrence's dominant performance, while several key roster battles are beginning to take shape. John examines why Cincinnati's revamped defense appears to be making legitimate progress, how Lawrence is transforming the defensive front, and why concerns at linebacker have started to ease. He also dives into the unsettled wide receiver depth chart and why Jalen Davis has emerged as the early favorite for the nickel cornerback job. With training camp moving along, are these developments signs that the Bengals are better than expected—or is it still too early to buy into the hype?
