Preseason Perfect: Who Earned a Spot on the Bengals’ Final 53?

Preseason Perfect: Who Earned a Spot on the Bengals’ Final 53?

Author: Anthony August 30, 2026 Duration: 1:16:08
The Cincinnati Bengals completed an undefeated preseason with an impressive performance against the Philadelphia Eagles—and the roster bubble has rarely felt this competitive. Anthony and Will break down Cincinnati’s renewed running game, the defensive line’s energy, the promising young secondary and the players who strengthened their cases before cutdown day. They also discuss whether Dan Pitcher should take over the offensive play-calling, explain why Joe Burrow’s “now or never” comments represent championship urgency rather than an exit plan, and look ahead to the regular-season opener against Tampa Bay. Then the guys go position by position to construct their projected Bengals 53-man roster, identifying the locks, toughest cuts and potential practice-squad candidates. Plus, hear an important update concerning the extended registration deadline for the Third Annual Jovante Woods Foundation Fantasy Football League.
