Bengals chart a new course with under-center wrinkles

Six days into Bengals training camp, Cincinnati is deliberately shifting away from its static shotgun, 11-personnel identity toward under-center looks, more motion, irregular formations and play-action to create a more versatile offense around Joe Burrow; with last year’s starters back, the team is testing wrinkles—using Chase Brown in multiple alignments—while the defense has mostly won the days, a sign that the changes aim to build an attack that can win in multiple ways as the season approaches.
