The Cincinnati Bengals had another eventful practice on Thursday at the fields near Paycor Stadium.
There, some notable developments took place, with new faces getting starting reps, others looking good in new places and at least one unfortunate injury development.
As expected, names like Joe Burrow and Trayveon Williams weren’t in attendance after injuries. Otherwise, it was a by-the-books practice with some major highlights as the offense started to gain back some ground without its starting quarterback.
Here’s a look at notable notes, highlights and happenings from the busy day for the Bengals as they gear up for their first preseason game.
Attendance notes
Joe Burrow, Trayveon Williams, Tarell Basham, Devonnsha Maxwell only ones missing from Bengals practice. Plus PUPs Collins and Wilcox

Cam Taylor-Britt putting up more highlights
Bengals CB Cam Taylor-Britt has had a really nice camp so far and today might be his best day. Already with 2 pass deflections in 1-on-1s today.
The duo of him and Chido Awuzie has the potential to be really good pic.twitter.com/3eFO3wHG27

Jonah Williams starting to turn some heads at RT
Joe Mixon has his best run of camp in 11 on 11s. Jonah Williams opened up a great hole with a great block from the right side.
The Bengals are really encouraged with Williams’ progress.

Ja’Marr Chase with the big highlight
Teams rarely blitz the Bengals because of what Ja’Marr Chase can do in one on ones. That idea stays true in training camp.
Right when the defense blitzes, Chase goes up and gets a touchdown over the top against Jones.
