NFL trade deadline 2026: Cincinnati Bengals’ potential trade partners and targets
The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off of their bye week, sitting in last place in the AFC North at 3-2. With everyone else in the division sitting at 4-2, they are right in the mix to still win the division. Meanwhile, there are several teams around the league sitting with just 1 win on the […]
Bengals News: Zac Taylor Hot Seat Watch
The Cincinnati Bengals are coming out of their Week 6 bye and are set to travel to Baltimore for their second division game of the 2026 season. They’re 3-2, but they’ve been a mixed bag so far. The offense, despite the star power, has struggled with consistency. The defense has shown progress in some ways, […]
3 things we learned from the Bengals’ first 5 games
After five games, the Cincinnati Bengals stand at a disappointing 3-2. The bye week couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. As Joe Burrow said, the team has to be better everywhere and avoid the little mistakes that cost them two games by a combined eight points. Here are three things we learned: 1. […]

The Cincinnati Bengals announced Tuesday that they signed safety Russ Yeast from the practice squad to the active roster.

Bengals progress report: Grading special teams
The Cincinnati Bengals are 3-2 coming out of their bye week, and depending on which side of the bed you wake up on, there’s plenty of reason for optimism or pessimism. The offense has had its moments. The defense has had its moments. Unfortunately, so have the special teams, and not necessarily in a good […]
How a Jonathan Taylor trade could work for Colts and Cincinnati
Some believe the Cincinnati Bengals could use help at running back. In a contract year, Chase Brown is yet to impress and Samaje Perine hasn’t really been a lead back in his career. Add in getting next to nothing from Tahj Brooks, some think adding outside help would make the Bengals’ offense more consistent. With […]
DJ Turner is having a good season, even if you’re not noticing it
A sign of a great cornerback is if you don’t notice him. It sounds weird, but if you don’t notice him, it means that the opposing quarterback isn’t throwing in his direction. Bengals cornerback DJ Turner hasn’t been noticed in most of the Bengals’ first five games this season. The only time he really has […]
Bengals News: Lamar Jackson Injury Watch as Ravens week arrives
The Cincinnati Bengals will be heading to take on the Baltimore Ravens this week for their second AFC North game of the season.

Bengals Bye Week Awards: Team MVP
The Cincinnati Bengals hit the bye at 3-2, and if you squint, you can see how this team could’ve been 5-0 or 1-4. A three-point loss in Pittsburgh. A five-point loss to Jacksonville after Ja’Marr Chase left with a concussion in the first 18 minutes. Then a 31-24 win in Miami to stop the bleeding. […]
Bengals Bye Week Awards: Defensive MVP
The Cincinnati Bengals spent the offseason loading up on defense, and five games in, you can see it. They have 17 sacks as a team, have allowed just five passing touchdowns (third-fewest in the league), and rank third in red-zone defense. The run defense is another story: 5.0 yards per carry allowed, and Miami ran […]
Bengals Bye Week Awards: Offensive MVP
The Cincinnati Bengals rank 10th in the league in points per game (25.6) through five weeks, and they’ve done it with almost no running game: 3.6 yards per carry as a team, with a Zac Taylor-era low of 23 rushing yards against Jacksonville. That means the passing game has carried this offense. Here’s who’s done […]
Bengals Bye Week Awards: Comeback Player of the Year
Last season went sideways fast. The Bengals finished 6-11, and they went 1-8 in the stretch Joe Burrow missed with a Grade 3 toe sprain that required surgery. So it’s fitting that this year’s comeback race starts with the quarterback, but he’s not the only one with a story. Joe Burrow, QB: From toe surgery […]
Fines handed out to Bengals after win vs. Dolphins
The Cincinnati Bengals are officially in their bye week after a 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins last weekend.

Bengals News: Early look at Cincinnati’s 2027 free agents

Prospects of interest for the Bengals in the Ohio State vs. Indiana game
With the Bengals on a bye week this week, and Ohio State traveling to face the defending National Champion Indiana Hoosiers, it feels like a good time to sneak a little draft talk into the mix. There are a ton of talented skill position players in this game, including Heisman favorite Jeremiah Smith. However, the […]

Bengals Bye Week Awards: Unsung Hero
We’re continuing our Cincinnati Bengals Bye Week Awards with a look at who’s been the team’s unsung hero through five games. The MVP debates get the headlines. This one’s for the guys who stepped in when Colbie Young went down on the first play in Pittsburgh, when Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both left the […]

Bengals Film Room: Joe Burrow has season-best performance vs. Miami Dolphins
For the first time this season, we saw peak Joe Burrow as he led the Cincinnati Bengals to a 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. The passing numbers a week prior against Jacksonville showed 428 yards passing with 1 passing touchdown and 2 interceptions. While he played pretty well overall, the turnovers […]
Does Samaje Perine deserve a larger role at running back over Chase Brown?
Samaje Perine was the Cincinnati Bengals’ leading rusher on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, and he provided a spark that this ground game hasn’t had enough of so far this year. The veteran running back logged 14 carries for 68 yards during the game. That 4.9 yards per carry is the highest number for a […]
Bengals News: Cincinnati has good odds to make NFL Playoffs
The Cincinnati Bengals are 3-2, and had they not struggled by getting in their own way too often, they could have easily gone into the Bye Week with a better record. That doesn’t mean their season is over, actually far from it. They actually have one of the easier schedules the rest of the way. […]
Amarius Mims is a top candidate for NFL Protector of the Year award
For Cincinnati Bengals fans, few sights are more reassuring than Joe Burrow having time to throw. Amarius Mims is doing his part to make that happen, and his work is drawing national attention. In his Quarter-Season NFL Awards Rankings, ESPN’s Bill Barnwell placed Mims third in the race for NFL Protector of the Year, behind […]
Bengals Film Room: Cincinnati’s goal-line stand vs. Miami Dolphins
