Looks like today's reports are positive for Turner, but Stewart is doubtful.

Stafford looks like butt so far. 2025 MVP finalists disease

Starting with a loss for an AFC contender. Pleased.

Not quite worth its own thread, so this will suffice. The Pro Football HOF changed its selection process and eliminated the distinct seniors category. Kenny is never getting in.

Inspire Brands CEO Paul Brown: "Hey gang, it's me, Paul Brown, CEO of Inspire Brands, parent company of your local Arby's. I think we need to talk about a roast beef infusion in your stadiums this season." Anon owner 6: DAD??? Inspire Brands CEO Paul Brown: "Uh. Yes, it is I. Your father. Paul Brown. I am speaking to you from the beyond to tell you that it was my last dying wish to have delicious Arby's roast beef sandwiches available in every seat at my stadium. Anon owner X: "HAH! Go ahead, Mike. Tell your dad what you did. Tell him right now." Anon owner 6: "Daddy. We sold the naming rights. We had to pay Joe. I am very sorry." Inspire Brands CEO Paul Brown: "I am disappointed in you, but I will forgive you if and only if you agree to promote the Angus Cheesesteak. I envision a giant poster depicting Joe Burrow inserting a big beefy steak sandwich into his wide open mouth." Anon owner 6: "Oh! Like the Carson Palmer hot dog?" Anon owner Y: "The what?" Anon owner 6: "I'm on it, pops. You won't regret it."

I'm fairly sure they want to run more 12 personnel, like they did before All got hurt in 2024. Hopefully Endries is up to the task if All can't stay healthy. Hudson is gone now anyway.

Free 6th round pick. Cool beans. i’d imagine he replaces Foster, Rivers, or Bayer (Rivers, please).

Confirmed per Baby: Brian Parker and Ja'Sir Taylor on IR, can return after four games.

https://www.cincyjungle.com/cincinnati-bengals-news/197558/cincinnati-bengals-53-man-roster-2026 Here it is. Tahj Brooks made it. Meh Jacob Bayer made it on the OL, and I believe Parker got hurt at the end of the last preseason game. No major surprises on defense. Newton squeaked in. Jules over Anthony.

Dehner says we have our TE room: Gesicki, Sample, All, Hudson, Endries

Jackson was such a bad draft pick. The worst pick of the Zac Taylor era has to be Jermaine Burton, but Jackson Carman and McKinnley Jackson battle over second place (Shemar Stewart TBD).

Dehner confirms Ke’Shawn Williams is in. That sets up the six WRs: Chase, Higgins, Iosivas, Meyers, Young, and Williams Williams takes return duties. I’m surprised they chose him over Jones, but it shows they weren’t handing out roster spots by default. Good.

Also released/waived per John Sheeran's tracker: Josh Johnson Jordan Moore Josh Kattus Andrew Coker Isaiah Foskey** Jack Dingle Bralyn Lux Howard Cross Russ Yeast Cam Grandy **Mildly surprising Lots of practice squad hopefuls, I'm sure. https://atozsports.com/nfl/cincinnati-bengals-news/bengals-roster-cuts-tracker-2026-cincinnati-begins-final-path-to-53-man-roster/ Warning: opening this website might give your PC cyclospora diarrhea.

Shaka Heyward released per Clifford. The Big Red Dog has all the scoops today.

McKinnley Jackson released per Rappaport. No trade, I guess.

Dohnte Meyers made the team per Ben Baby, if anyone still had doubts.

Landon Robinson made the team per Jordan Schultz and Clifford.

Mitch Tinsley released per Charlie Clifford of NBC 5.

Charlie Jones released per Rappaport.

Unless Tahj Brooks is highly valuable on STs, I don't think he should make the team. He stinks as a RB. Go with one of the randos.

That may have been the single best preseason I have ever seen from a Bengals rookie class.

I’m here just in time for Andrew Tiberius Dalton.

Sit Meyers. He’s in.

I’ll leave the Cincinnati residents to talk about lodging, but I can talk about tickets. I used to be a season ticket holder when I lived in Ohio. Paycor is well-designed from the standpoint of seeing the field. You can’t really go wrong. The upper levels still provide very clear views. I’d personally recommend you get seats somewhere between the 30 yard lines if you can. If so, even the very last row at the top will allow decent vision. Maybe avoid seats at the very base and corner of a section, because you might get a little staircase glass in front of you.

The national media has never had a single clue about anything Bengals for pretty much the entire duration of the franchise.
