Another day, another Cincinnati Bengals camp practice in the books.
First of all, the injury report was positive for Tuesday. Trayveon Williams got to the rehab field after missing the preseason game due to hamstring tightness, and he worked alongside Khalid Kareem. Ricardo Allen and Eli Apple were both back in practice.
The bad news is that Joseph Ossai is still out. This still doesn’t put him off pace to make the season opener, thankfully.
Update: Bengals RB Trayveon Williams was dressed out initially but is now working on the rehab field.

Ricardo Allen and Eli Apple are back to work. #Bengals
The offense had a great day on Tuesday. Tee Higgins and Stanley Morgan had great catches in the back of the end zone during position drills.

There was only one hiccup for the offense. Ja’Marr Chase’s rookie struggles flared up, or Chidobe Awuzie’s great camp continued, depending on which perspective you choose to take. Awuzie got a PBU against Chase, for which Chase did push-ups in penance.

Thaddeus Moss is separating from the pack as he looks to join the rest of the LSU squad on the 53-man roster.
Few thoughts from a relatively mundane practice.

1. Thad Moss made fantastic catch today. That’s not the first time I’ve had that in my notes. For me, he’s distanced himself in the third TE job with plays like that.
2. Couple drops from Chase in traffic. Not egregious, tho.
Isaiah Prince, who will be competing for a roster spot on the Bengals’ new-and-improved offensive line, had a great day against one of the stars from the game against the Buccaneers.
Isaiah Prince just beat Darius Hodge in a 1-on-1 battle to determine who gets the ball first in 11s. Hodge won initially, but Prince recovered and pancaked him. They called it a tie and went again. Prince got the better end of what was a good two-play back and forth

Joe Burrow had what was one of the best passes all preseason, as he connected with C.J. Uzomah on a deep play action pass.
Burrow just hit what was probably the deepest ball we’ve seen in camp. Everyone went left on play action, he rolled right and hit Uzomah in stride with Waynes trailing. C.J. with an exuberant “Fuck yeah” as he crossed the goal line.

Who had C.J. Uzomah catching Joe Burrow’s first deep completion of camp?

As usual, practice was punctuated with kicking. Tuesday was Austin Seibert’s turn, and he made his first four kicks. He missed both of his kicks from more than 50 yards out, however, one day after Evan McPherson made all eight of his attempts, including one from 54.
Seibert 4 of 6 today. Missed from 53, 54. Hit from 36, 42, 45 and 50#Bengals
