The Cincinnati Bengals don’t want for much as they approach the preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles.
One of the bigger depth problems at wideout already got some major answers. Third running back remains a question mark, but isn't a high priority in terms of the price it costs to fix.
Backup swing offensive tackle, though, will mostly come down to the play on the field against the Eagles.
Javon Foster is a Bengals training camp breakout and steal as a former notable draft pick in Jacksonville. But he’s competing with recent Bengals draft pick Jalen Rivers for the job.
In fact, both guys might end up starting on opposite edges against the Eagles, then moving around, if the coaches want, as the night progresses.
This situation, at least,
explains why the Bengals already cut Cody Ford. He got kicked inside, but the Bengals really like rookies Brian Parker and Connor Lew there, among others.
There’s probably room for both Foster and Rivers on the final roster with some serious crunch, but the Bengals will likely figure out the first tackle off the bench on Friday night in Philadelphia.
