The Cincinnati Bengals start training camp this week, where a number of key rosters battles will unfold across the roster.
Some of these are obvious. Rookie Jordan Battle, for example, might just be able to play himself into some snaps alongside Nick Scott and Dax Hill in a secondary looking to replace Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell.
Others, like a battle for roster spots at a very deep wideout spot, aren’t as obvious. There aren’t many outright starter spots up for grabs (unless Jonah Williams somehow struggles mightily at right tackle), but the right to take snaps when Joe Mixon’s not on the field at running back certainly is.
Here’s an early look at a final 53-man roster prediction to go along with the festivities of camp opening.
