The Cincinnati Bengals have had an issue with the quality of depth at the quarterback position behind DJ Turner and Dax Hill. Josh Newton has recently stepped into playing more as DJ Ivey has struggled as the penciled in starter for this year.
Well another name will be added soon with Jalen Davis coming back. It more seems like a matter of when. Cincinnati opened Davis’ 21-Day practice window. He logged a full practice participation in his first prctice back. That is a good sign, but the team seems ready
to roll with Newton against the Steelers on Sunday Night Football.
We will have to see if they activate him prior to the game for a little extra insurance at that position.

The Conversation | Age of Amarius: “This Is The Tip Of The Iceberg”
The Bengals bet pretty big on Amarius Mims, and he has paid off by smashing through any perceived ceiling he was given around the draft. He has simply been the best pass protecting right tackle in football, and he is having one of the best seasons ever at the position.
Former Bengals starter signs with SEA, draft pick debate starts again
I am so glad there are people that understand how the compensatory pick formula works. It is kind of ridiculous that a multi billion dollar industry doesn’t give more clear instructions on how it works. Also I can not believe Cordell Volson gets another season of frustrating me.
‘You Have To Prove It to Me’ — Super Bowl Champion Questions Bengals’ Hype After Wins Against ‘Bottom of the Barrel’ Teams
I am so tired of this argument being used solely for Cincinnati. I have even seen Steeler fans using it. Guess what, they both play mostly he same teams. The only teams they have faced that the Bengals haven’t are the Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns twice. Those aren’t exactly top notched teams despite the Browns fast start to the season. They need to prove themselves just as much.

Commanders-Giants on ‘Thursday Night Football’: What We Learned from Washington’s 24-21 win
The Bengals will be playing the Washington Commanders next week on Monday Night Football. So it will be two weeks in a row that Cincinnati’s opponents will have an extended rest period since they played Thursday Night this week. More importantly they’ve been given new life to their season.
Broncos backed out of trade for Chargers’ Henley over surprising issue in physical
It seems like if true the Denver Broncos pulled an even worse move than the Bengals not knowing how compensatory picks work. To tell a team after the deadline that you’ll still do the trade for less compensation is just sleazy.
Safety Amani Hooker ecstatic to join AFC contender Bills after trade: ‘It’s amazing’
It is a bit worrying that the safety that managed a hat trick with three interceptions against Joe Burrow is now on a team that the Bengals may need to go through. Hopefully that won’t be as much of a thing, but we will have to see if it was a flash in the pan.
