Competition.   I would be shocked IF this year's opening day starter at RT will only have 1 or 2 team practices in August.

Somebody is leaving or going to guard out of RT group.

Dehner has a piece in the Athletic that says Zac Taylor is utilizing off season practice and drills less than any other coach.  A sample:

 

“The praise reflects a staff leaning into sports science research with an emphasis on what type of work must be done and what makes the most sense over the long haul of the season.

It also reflects a willingness to risk being an NFL outlier.

The collective bargaining agreement allows 16 true practice opportunities over the course of the spring. A team can max out with 10 organized team activities, three days of mandatory minicamp and a three-day rookie minicamp.”

“These come on top of the phase one portion of the offseason relegated strictly to meetings, conditioning and rehab. Phase two involves on-field work, but limited to individual and group instruction. No helmets or team-versus-team drills, strictly working on air. Any plays must be at walkthrough pace and with no live contact or working against an opposing side of the ball.

OTAs include helmets, and while there’s no live contact, the intensity ratchets up significantly with 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 the centerpiece for a longer practice time.

Nobody has utilized these less than the Bengals.”

It's probably a combination of work ethic, being world-class athletes, and having access to top-notch physical therapists and doctors.
