In this video, we break down the biggest Bengals training camp takeaways from the weekend, including Joe Burrow’s impressive physical condition, his post-practice sprints and why he could be more mobile than ever in 2026. We also discuss the continued connection between Burrow and Tee Higgins, including a beautiful back-shoulder touchdown that showcased one of the Bengals’ most dangerous offensive combinations.

Dexter Lawrence continues to make a massive impact on Cincinnati’s defense. His ability to command multiple blockers is creating opportunities for the rest of the Bengals defensive line, while his leadership is already changing the identity of the unit. Could the defensive line actually become a strength for Cincinnati this season?

We also discuss Andrei Iosivas and his battle with rookie wide receiver Colbie Young for the No. 3 receiver role. Iosivas has shown confidence and made plays throughout camp, while Young continues to push for an opportunity. That competition could be one of the most interesting position battles to watch during the preseason.

Plus, we have the latest on Bryan Cook and Dax Hill after both missed practice with soft-tissue issues, and why Cook’s health is especially important to the Bengals’ revamped safety room. DJ Ivey continues to make a strong impression with the first-team defense as well.

Finally, we look at Tanner Hudson’s chances of making the Bengals roster and why his relationship with the quarterback room could once again keep him in Cincinnati.
