Bengals Preseason Preview & Rising Stars | NFL News

Bengals preseason kicks off tonight against the Lions, with starters like Burrow and Chase getting limited snaps — a prime chance for fans to see the stars before the regular season. New DT Dexter Lawrence aims to make an early impact, while backups like pass-rushing Cashius Howell and return specialist Dohnte Meyers vie for attention. Defensive tackle Kris Jenkins Jr., facing stiff competition, could use a strong showing to boost his trade value. Rookie CB Tacario Davis needs to prove his tackling in live action, and punter Ryan Rehkow must improve his touch after last year’s touchback-heavy performances. This opener isn’t just warm-up — it’s a critical audition for players fighting for roles or trying to cement their spots.
