As each day passes, we’re getting a clearer picture of everything with Week 1 on the horizon. The Cincinnati Bengals, as well as every NFL team, have engaged in final cuts and we have a pretty clear vision of who will be on the sidelines for the season-opening clash against the Steelers.
On this week’s show, we break down how the roster is constructed, what’s interesting about the practice squad, as well as the surprises and starting statuses of certain spots. We also gauge just how much stronger this roster is at the moment, while also taking an early look at things with the Steelers.
A deeper look into this week’s topics:
- A rundown and reminder of where we are at with the 53-man roster and practice squad, as of the middle of the week.
- The Bengals made a few waiver wire claims...it’s Jay Tufele season!
- What do these moves signal for the team and the state of its roster?
- Cordell Volson has earned the starting left guard...for now. New addition Max Scharping might be waiting in the wings, though.
- Just how improved is the Bengals’ roster right now from even half a year ago when they were in the Super Bowl? How far have they come from just a few months ago after their most recent draft class?
- A brief look at the upcoming Week 1 clash versus the Steelers.
