Bengals manage absences of Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen in camp
Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals are exercising caution during training camp by resting key players Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen on different days. Head coach Zac Taylor noted that previous years have seen significant player losses on the third day of training camp, leading to a decision for careful load management this summer. The Bengals aim to have their defensive line, especially Lawrence and Allen, healthy heading into the regular season. Additional injuries in the defensive line, including BJ Hill on the PUP list, have prompted measures to minimize wear and tear on the roster.
