It appears eight Bengals sat out of practice Wednesday.
Tee Higgins back out here participating after landing awkwardly on Monday. Appears no worries there.

Tee is wearing a compression sleeve on his right leg, for those who are now keenly aware of such developments.
Tee Higgins was wearing a sleeve on his calf after a collision Monday.

Higgins doesn’t look to be slowed up, as he and Chidobe Awuzie both looked healthy working against each other.
Alex Cappa is back for 11 on 11 drills at right guard.

Good news for the offensive line, as Alex Cappa was back to participating in 11-on-11 work after missing some time with what Zac Taylor called a “minor tweak.”
Trey Hendrickson easily the camp MVP. Just beat Orlando Brown badly for what would have been a sack #Bengals

Fresh off of a contract extension, Trey Hendrickson has been the talk of camp. It would appear that strong performance continued Wednesday.

A focal point this off-season for running back Chris Evans has been pass protection. Evans has stated it is an area he needs to improve on, and on this play, it looks like it is paying off.

Rookie cornerback DJ Ivey continues what has been a good camp for him, playing this ball intended for fellow rookie Andrei Iosivas very well.
Jake Browning sees a heavy blitz, notices Chase in one-on-one coverage, lofts a fly ball down the sideline and Chase gets the touchdown.
— Charlie Goldsmith (@CharlieG__) August 16, 2023
It has been far from perfect, but the offense is moving the ball more with Browning.
As the battle for the backup quarterback job continues, it looks like the offense performed better with Browning at the helm on Wednesday.

Browning appears to leave this ball inside a bit due to a blitzing Dax Hill, but Higgins makes a great adjustment to haul it in against Cam Taylor-Britt.

The battles between Ja’Marr Chase and Taylor-Britt have been fun to watch. To end the day, Taylor-Britt comes away with an interception to end practice on a win for the defense.
