Bengals starters sit out preseason finale against Eagles

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor confirmed that starters, including Joe Burrow, will not play in the preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday night. This decision creates an opportunity for backup players to showcase their skills as they compete for final roster spots. The Bengals have several notable roster bubble players to watch, including Charlie Jones and Josh Newton, as well as trade candidates like Kris Jenkins. With the urgency for these players to perform, they will look to make a strong impression on film ahead of final roster cuts.
