The wait for the Cincinnati Bengals regular season is over now with the Bengals heading into division rival territory against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Joe Burrow seems to be fully healthy and ready to go after signing an extension that makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history.
This will be the first time Deshaun Watson opens the season as the starting quarterback for the Browns, and there are questions about whether he will improve after looking very rusty last season. Joseph Ossai is the only Bengals defender currently on the injury report and did not practice.

That was before Watson returned to the team, but Browns RB Nick Chubb rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown while WR Amari Cooper caught five passes for 131 yards and a touchdown of his own.
