First, we take a closer look at PJ Jules and why the former undrafted free agent may be the favorite to claim the Bengals' fourth safety spot. We discuss his impressive work on special teams, his development since joining Cincinnati, and whether he can replace Tyson Anderson's role under special teams coordinator Darren Simmons.

Next, we dive into William Wagner, the Bengals' long snapper who quietly won the job last season. Why is the kicking operation so important for a team with playoff aspirations? We discuss Evan McPherson, Ryan Rehkow, and why consistency on special teams could be the difference between winning and losing close games in 2026.

Finally, we examine Howard Cross III and his uphill battle to earn a roster spot along the defensive line. With major additions in the trenches and increased competition, does the former Notre Dame standout have what it takes to stick on the Bengals' 53-man roster?

As training camp approaches, every roster spot matters, and these are three players worth watching throughout camp and the preseason.

Do you think PJ Jules makes the 53-man roster? Can Howard Cross III earn a spot? Let me know your predictions in the comments.
