Ideal Trade Partner Could be Emerging for Cincinnati Bengals With Roster Cuts Looming. The Bengals may look to bolster the trenches.

Bengals receiver Mitchell Tinsley had two touchdown catches on Monday night vs. the Commanders in preseason as he battles for a spot on Cincinnati's 53-man roster. He also received quite the endorsement from Joe Burrow.

A key veteran presence could add depth to a position the Bengals need more than ever if they are looking to protect their star QB.

On Tuesday’s edition of “Get Up,” former Steelers safety and current ESPN NFL personality Ryan Clark said the Bengals are wasting Joe Burrow’s prime years as the team enters another season with what is expected to be a horrific run defense.

Look no further than two of the most prominent teams in the 2025 quarterback market: The Pittsburgh Steelers added DK Metcalf to pair with Aaron Rodgers, and the Seattle Seahawks added Cooper Kupp to pair with Sam Darnold.

The visit came at a time when Cincinnati is very thin at guard; both Cordell Volson and Cody Ford were banged up entering Monday night's game against Washington. Then, Lucas Patrick suffered an injury in the opening quarter. Ford appears to have avoided anything major though.

The Cincinnati Bengals will face the Washington Commanders in week 2 of the NFL preseason on Sunday at Northwest Stadium.

Free-agent guard Dalton Risner reportedly is considering a visit with the Steelers, according to an ESPN report.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals let Dalton Risner leave the building without a new deal on Tuesday, and he is now visiting other teams. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported the free agent guard is headed to Seattle for a visit and may also check out Pittsburgh before making his final decision.

We learned the Cincinnati Bengals' defense is the biggest concern after the preseason game vs. the Washington Commanders.
