As the Cincinnati Bengals inch closer toward final roster cuts, there are always some sleepers that make the team after seemingly being an afterthought when camp begins. While most of the Bengals’ starting lineup is set, the reserve unit remains a very fluid situation.

“Cincinnati’s coaching staff will need to prepare as if Egbuka will be on the field. But if the second-year receiver isn’t cleared in time, the Bengals could enter their season opener without having to defend one of Tampa Bay’s most dangerous playmakers. Tampa Bay would still have plenty of talent around Mayfield, but losing Egbuka would remove a proven explosive threat from the offense. That could allow Cincinnati to focus more on Godwin and the Buccaneers’ other pass-catching options.“
