Cincinnati Bengals guard Dalton Risner enters the 2026 season looking to improve his performance following a difficult prior campaign. Risner acknowledged his role in a Week 2 sack against the Jacksonville Jaguars last season that resulted in a turf toe injury for quarterback Joe Burrow. That injury sidelined the quarterback for three months and contributed to the team finishing with a 6-11 record. Now entering his second season with the franchise, Risner stated he feels prepared for a productive year and expressed confidence in the team winning a Super Bowl. The 31-year-old veteran signed a one-year, $3.25 million contract extension in March to remain with the club. He joins an offensive line group tasked with protecting Burrow as the Bengals prepare to open their schedule against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday.
