Burrow’s Rallying Call: Bengals Finish Camp-Test Strong vs Bears

In a joint practice with the Chicago Bears, Cincinnati’s defense finished strong (Myles Murphy with consecutive sacks including a safety; Dexter Lawrence tipped a Williams pass for an interception, followed by Jalen Davis’ takeaway) as Tee Higgins stood out for the offense. Burrow looked sharp at times but faced pressure, taking sacks and throwing an overthrow interception amid a brief sideline scuffle. With starters resting for Saturday’s game, the Bengals emphasize finishing as they prep for the Sept. 13 opener vs. Tampa Bay and continue to evaluate roster battles.

Burrow: LSU Won’t Reuse No. 9, but Jersey Drama at LSU Isn’t Over Yet

Joe Burrow said LSU officials told him the No. 9 jersey wouldn’t be reused, though nothing is guaranteed with time. The ongoing jersey drama centers on DJ Pickett’s move from No. 3 to No. 5 and Jayden Daniels’ former No. 5, with Daniels’ camp sending a cease‑and‑desist over NIL usage. LSU policy allows current players to wear numbers at the coach’s discretion, while five numbers retired before 2007 remain ineligible, highlighting how legacy, current players, and NIL intersect in LSU’s jersey decisions.

Bengals’ hot camp day sees both sides rise, Burrow clicking and young depth shining

On the hottest day of Bengals training camp, both the offense and defense showed progress: Burrow connected for two touchdowns (to Higgins and Iosivas) in six first-team drives, rookie Colbie Young flashed as a breakout receiver, and a relentless pass rush plus well-timed blitzes kept the defense competitive despite several secondary injuries.

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.

Burrow’s swagger, Penix’s health race, and TE sleepers define minicamp takeaways

Minicamps closed with five key takeaways: Joe Burrow exudes confidence that the Bengals can be elite this season; Michael Penix Jr. has not yet been cleared for 11-on-11 work and faces a tight competition with Tua Tagovailoa in Atlanta, with Stefanski saying no jobs will be handed out in June; Xavier Worthy could emerge for the Chiefs as a playmaking option as Rashee Rice’s injuries/suspensions loom and Mahomes returns; Dallas’s RB2 role remains unsettled among Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue, and Phil Mafah; Jacksonville’s Tanner Koziol has opened eyes as a larger receiving tight end, signaling a potential shift to more TE usage for the Jaguars.

Bengals restructure Burrow deal to free up cap space

The Cincinnati Bengals restructured Joe Burrow’s five-year, $275 million extension, creating about $10 million in 2026 cap space by spreading part of his base salary over the remainder of the deal, bringing their cap room to roughly $17 million for the season and allowing the team to pursue extensions for several young players while finalizing its seven-man draft class; Burrow remains under contract through 2029, and the move follows the Dexter Lawrence trade that constrained their offseason cap plans.

Bengals' defensive upgrades push high hopes for 2026

Ja’Marr Chase says Cincinnati’s offseason defensive additions — including Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen, Boye Mafe and Bryan Cook, plus two early draft picks — raise expectations for the defense after a string of playoff droughts. Burrow has called this the most talented roster he’s been with in the NFL, and the team aims to translate the improved defense into timely results to reach the playoffs and get back to the Super Bowl-era peak after the 2021 run.
