Leon Hall at Safety is a Real Possibility

AJ McCarron is Far From Ready to Take Andy Dalton's Job

• McCarron has looked sloppy one week into training camp. [Cincinnati Enquirer ]
• McCarron's inconsistency may force the Bengals to take three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. [Cincy Jungle]

Geno Atkins is Dominating Training Camp

• Akins has appeared to be the "best player on the field" for the Bengals in training camp. [Cincy Jungle]
• Atkins was able to spend this offseason training opposed to last offseason when he was rehabbing, and the work he put in is showing. [Cincy Jungle]
• Atkins has been the talk of camp and is the "old Genoa again". On his teammate, Carlos Dunlap said, "He's more fluid, it's back to being natural for him rather than questioning himself." [Fox 19]

Is the Future Here for the Cornerback Position?

Michael Johnson Expected to Miss 4-6 Weeks

• Michael Johnson was carted off the field during the Bengals' Sunday practice. [Cincy Jungle]
