The Cincinnati Bengals roster bubble received some interesting updates after the team’s second preseason game.
There, a loss to the Chicago Bears gave plenty of players ample room to seize the moment. Some did, while other fringe players faded.
The unit most impacted by the day’s action was the offensive line, where the team seemed to revamp almost the entire second string in the hopes of giving new faces a chance to steal backup roles.
And some of them 100 percent did.
Exiting the second preseason game and with final cuts still a ways out, here’s a look at a roster bubble update for the Bengals.
The seventh-round pick just looks the part. He’s held up well enough with some small flashes over his first two preseason games to probably knock Trey Hill off the roster.
The popular undrafted free agent from 2023 got a shot at left tackle over the likes of Carman on Saturday and played well. He’s super versatile, so his sticking on the final 53 makes sense.
Hill is struggling at times and suffering from the rise of Lee. There’s a chance he could move from center to guard, but it might be too late — and crowded on the depth chart.
