Friday Night in the Jungle: What We Saw at Bengals Practice

Anthony and Will are back with an immediate reaction from Bengals Friday night practice at Paycor Stadium. Despite weather shortening the session, there was still plenty to discuss. Joe Burrow continues to work on taking more snaps from under center, and after some early growing pains in camp, the guys saw noticeable signs of improvement. Could this become an important new dimension of the Bengals offense in 2026? The guys also break down another impressive showing from Cashius Howell, who continues to create havoc against the offensive line, Brian Cook’s encouraging work in the secondary, the ongoing battles between the first-team offense and defense, and what stood out from the offensive line. Plus, Anthony and Will discuss what they want to see once preseason action begins and why wins and losses aren’t nearly as important as seeing specific areas of this Bengals team take the next step. And before signing off, the guys have details on the 3rd Annual Javonte Woods Foundation Fantasy Football Draft on August 31 at Midwest Best BBQ, including how Bengals fans can sign up, support the foundation and have a chance to meet Ickey Woods and other Bengals greats. It’s another firsthand training camp report from the Rule the Jungle Podcast. WHO DEY! 🐅
