Author: Cincinnati Bengals Talk, HMA August 29, 2026 Duration: 10:00
The Cincinnati Bengals finish the preseason 3-0 after handling business against the Philadelphia Eagles, and now the attention turns to some very difficult roster decisions... James Rapien gives his instant reaction to the Bengals' preseason finale, including another impressive performance from Dohnte Meyers, who led Cincinnati in receiving and continued to make his case for a significant role. The entire Bengals wide receiver room continues to make plays, with Charlie Jones, Ke'Shawn Williams and Mitch Tinsley among those fighting for limited roster spots. Plus, Tacario Davis makes an impact with an interception, Josh Johnson and Sean Clifford turn in solid performances, the RB3 question remains unanswered, and the Bengals still have decisions to make at offensive tackle and across the defense. Could Cincinnati turn some of its roster depth into help at positions of need? And which players have done enough to earn their place on the 53-man roster?
