Football is almost back in our lives as the Cincinnati Bengals prepare for the 2020 NFL season.
Year 1 of the Joe Burrow era has the potential to lay the foundation for a very special era of Bengals football. Combined with weapons like A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd, Joe Mixon, John Ross and Tee Higgins, as well as a loaded defensive line and stingy secondary, 2020 should produce a lot of fireworks and memorable wins that bring joy back to the Queen City.
With that in mind, it is time to take a look at how the Bengals’ roster looks heading into the new season.
(Note: This will be updated throughout training camp as the roster is slowly trimmed from 80 to 53 players, as well as a 16-man practice squad.)
