The Cincinnati Bengals just completed the final phase of their offseason program. Next up? Training camp after a six-week break.
Over the last few months, the Bengals’ coaching staff put together a plan to set up their players to be ready to go once training camp begins. The voluntary offseason program is about installing the offense and defense, introducing the new players and learning how to practice so when the team steps on the field for practice come the end of July, everyone is ready to go.
The Bengals’ roster has changed significantly since the end of the 2023 season. Veterans like Tyler Boyd, Jonah Williams and DJ Reader are no longer with the team. New players like Geno Stone, Sheldon Rankins, Zack Moss, Trent Brown and Mike Gesicki have joined the team, including the rookies, and got a chance to learn their new playbooks.
Cincinnati’s three-day minicamp gave us three different chances to see what this year’s version of the Bengals is going to look like. Here are five of the biggest takeaways from the offseason program.
