The Cincinnati Bengals had a quiet day at the office on Monday.
With pads going on the day after, there weren’t many major developments. Some thoughts:
- Joe Burrow was a half-day, as advertised. Still sharp and impressive, but like everything else, no need to push it with pads going on the next day.
- It was another “hold-in” day for Ja’Marr Chase.
- We can make that distinction now that head coach Zac Taylor has confirmed that DE Sam Hubbard and DE Trey Hendrickson are day-to-day with injuries. The latter wants a new contract too, but it’s an injury holding him out.
- While seeing everyone in pads on Tuesday will be nice, the biggest focal point might be OT Amaris Mims. With OT Trent Brown still out, the first-rounder has a chance to show what he can do and perhaps really make a push for the starting job.
- WR Charlie Jones has had a quiet camp compared to someone like WR Andrei Iosivas. But he had what was probably the play of the day in 11s:
GET IT CHUCK!
