Notes from today's #Bengals practice, another solid showing from... the rebuilt defense. -Play of the day goes to Bryan Cook, stepping in front of an anticipation in-breaker from Burrow to Mitch Tinsley. Great read, veteran play. 📽️⬇️ DJ Ivey was thrust in with the first team with Dax Hill scaled back today. He showed well, including a great PBU on a deep ball left one-on-one with Tee Higgins. -Bengals DL continues to make Burrow and company uncomfortable. Not as rough as yesterday, but those guys are just a load right now. -Two days in a row now with a splash play by Colbie Young. Confidence is growing in the rookie. -Dohnte Meyers shows up every day. -Deep cut: A few particularly nice reps in 1-on-1 work for UDFA Corey Robinson II. -Burrow off a bit today. Missed on a couple deep balls and got sniped by Cook for the INT. -A number of Reds in attendance, including Sal Stewart, who was in his Ja'Marr Chase jersey and exchanged his jersey with Chase after they all chatted for a while. -More plays and analysis coming on The Athletic blog and Growler recap show.show more

Notes on today's #Bengals practice, the most competitive and... game-like conditions we've seen so far. - Great back-and-forth with big plays from both sides. Logged six drives for ones-vs-ones and two touchdowns. Burrow connects with Andrei Iosivas and Tee Higgins for scores. - The Higgins TD was a classic back-shoulder high-point in the corner against DJ Ivey. Unguardable stuff. Jay Morrison had a perfect angle on the video. - Tanner Hudson with the play of the day for the 2nd-team offense with a fourth-down TD against a double team from Flacco. - Blitz was working forcing stops with Demetrius Knight and Barrett Carter both coming up with nice plays. 📽️ Another day, another flash play for Colbie Young, although he also dropped a contested catch in the end zone. -Jonathan Allen with a sack. - No Bryan Cook, no Dax Hill, no Jalen Davis (in team) left the DBs a little shorthanded. - Honestly, just a high-level practice for both sides. Starting to see things come together. - Check back for more analysis and plays in The Athletic and on the Growler Podcast camp recap.show more

Joe Burrow goes deep to Ja’Marr Chase. DJ Turner... with good coverage on a play Ja’Marr can’t make. SOUND UP. Watch and listen to the leadership by Bryan Cook after the play. Cook then picked off Burrow the very next play after this. #Bengals FOX19 NOWshow more

Notes from today’s #Bengals practice: - Overall, another winning... day for the defense, but not as conclusive as recent practices - Cashius Howell popped in a big way on a couple rushes off the edge against Orlando Brown using both speed and power. Also blew by Andrew Coker for a would-be sack. Probably his best practice to date. The fact Zac Taylor referenced him having the same tenacity as Erick All tells you what you need to know about he’s viewed. - Vet day for Chase meant extra passes for Tee Higgins. Hit some, but still off at times, working to get their connection down (nobody should be worried about this). - Ugly drop by Andrei Iosivas to close practice on a crosser. A lot to like about where Iosivas is at, but he just has to eliminate those moments from his game or he’ll be watching Colbie Young before long. - Offense had been very good operationally this camp, but a delay of game and false start showed up today. -Dax Hill still limited, DJ Ivey and DJ Turner both with PBUs. 📽️ Jalen Davis with a nice play on third down with a PBU -Colbie Young had a drop, but also the recipient of one of Burrow’s best balls of the day running a seam between Knight at Battle.show more

Five observations from #Bengals practice: 1. Joe Burrow stayed... after practice to throw numerous deep balls and varied the trajectory and velocity. “His throws are perfect, honestly,” said rookie WR Colbie Young. “He’s one of the best quarterbacks in the league and the way he takes time out of his day to perfect his craft just shows the effort he puts in to win.”show more

For those paying attention to the Bengals' position battle... at Right Guard: 🎥 Lucas Patrick missed a block & allowed pressure on 3rd & 5 (first possession).

5 observations from Day 2 of #Bengals camp. 1.... Joe Burrow came out firing, with a 58-yard TD to Tee Higgins and multiple throws to Ja’Marr Chase. “They’ve got 2 number one receivers,” said Bengals legend Isaac Curtis. “This is a very special receiving crew. It’s one of the best.”show more

Five observations from the #Bengals joint practice with the... Colts: 1. Joe Burrow was sharp in the short to intermediate passing game, going 26-for-32 overall with 2 TD and 1 INT. After one precise throw where Tee Higgins high-pointed it, I heard a Colts safety yell, “Oh s***!”show more

On the day that the Cincinnati Bengals announce their... blockbuster deal with Ja’Marr Chase, I got a story … In 2021, Chase hit a rough patch in camp with drops. It was a big story at the time, the kind that blow up in the summer. Anyway, I came thru for an early August practice, and hung out with coaches on the field for about a half-hour after the session ended. I turned around, and there was Ja’MarrChase, out there on the Juggs, having kept one teammate behind to help him. Five minutes later, he was by himself, with an equipment man shooting the balls at him. At the end of my camp trip, I showed my football-obsessed first-grader (now a fourth-grader) how this player picked fifth overall was responding in the face of adversity early in his career. Almost all the rest of the players and coaches were inside. It wasn’t a show. It was a guy consumed with being the best. Which is why I think the Bengals will sleep well writing him those checks.show more
