Bengals retain starting offensive line to build on late season progress

The Cincinnati Bengals enter the season with a consistent offensive line unit, returning all five starters from the previous campaign. Orlando Brown Jr., Dylan Fairchild, Ted Karras, Dalton Risner, and Amarius Mims will anchor the group in front of Joe Burrow. This continuity follows a strong finish to last year, where Pro Football Focus ranked the unit among the top five in the NFL over the final seven games. Both Risner and Mims demonstrated significant statistical improvement during that stretch, with Mims allowing no sacks over the final eight weeks. Players cite the development of trust and communication as the primary factors behind their improved performance. The group aims to carry this momentum into the new season by prioritizing collective execution and quick adjustments during high-pressure situations.
