If Bengals fans have actually been riding a high since Joe Burrow lit up the first string scrimmage recently, Mondays practice mightve offered a bit of a boiled down. Jordan Evans was hauled off of the field midway into practice and gamers like Joe Mixon and Carl Lawson were provided days off. But hey, a minimum of the group didnt have a lots false favorable COVID-19 tests to deal with, right?
Heres the rundown for what happened during Mondays practice.
Green practically has the Green light
” You understand your body,” Higgins informed press reporters the other day. “Take your own time if you require it. Dont attempt to play through it if it gets modified again.”
If Bengals fans have been riding a high because Joe Burrow lit up the first team scrimmage last week, Mondays practice mayve supplied a little bit of a come down. Jordan Evans was hauled off of the field midway into practice and gamers like Joe Mixon and Carl Lawson were offered days off. Tee Higgins returned to practice yesterday after dealing with hamstring tightness of his own and had a trainer help him stretch during practice.
The Bengals first-round pick continues to impress his veteran teammates. C.J. Uzomah mentioned his pre-snap expertise after practice.
Lodge was probably working with the backups, which now consists of Mike Thomas also. John Ross supposedly went back to the first-team Monday after going back to practice on Sunday. Thomas had been filling in for Ross during the week of Ross lack and playing well in that role.
If anyone understands, Green understands.
From our observations of the Bengals Training Camp Report, we found out that backup center Josh Knipfel, a college free representative out of Iowa State, did not practice today due to a possible head injury. In his location, Billy Price took snaps as the backup. Surprisingly enough, Price has exclusively been at guard this camp.

Burrows consensus best throw from practice 40 yards and landed in the hands of Lodge, who went on into completion zone for a goal. Burrow was supposedly breaking the second-team defense for a number of the 11-on-11 drives, so Lodge being on the field in that scenario makes good sense.
Fred Johnson saw snaps at both right tackle and right guard. He even took snaps with the first string at right guard. Linebacker Brady Sheldon was seen working as an edge rusher, and Mike Daniels took some associates at nose take on.
The “catch-radius beast” known more commonly as Auden Tate continued to impress today. He was the recipient of yet another Joe Burrow goal that concluded 11-on-11 work, and if you thought it was another jump ball circumstance where Tate grabbed it 10 feet in the air, you would obviously be appropriate.
Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com tweeted the other day that the team expects A.J. Green to play in their next skirmish on August 30th. Seeing Green run for the very first time on the rehab field is an excellent sign that he will be all set for that scrimmage.
Lodge was signed onto the Bengals practice squad last December and was kept by the team after the 2019 season ended. He was Ole Miss third receiver when they had D.K. Metcalf and A.J. Brown on the lineup and had 877 receiving backyards during the trios one season together, so hes got the ability to produce with terrific talent surrounding him.

Burrow check
Higgins has stated he designs his video game after Green, so the jokes can compose themselves since both are handling comparable ailments at the moment. Green offered him some guidance on this matter.
Tate and Burrow have actually formed obvious chemistry this past month. We do not even know for sure that Burrow has actually ever finished a pass to first-year receiver DaMarkus Lodge, however he sure did today.
Green has been sidelined with hamstring tightness for a week now, but Green knows these things cant be hurried. Required an example? Tee Higgins went back to practice yesterday after dealing with hamstring tightness of his own and had a trainer aid him stretch throughout practice.
Higgins mayve had the emphasize of the day, however the consensus star of camp continues to be the man ahead of him on the depth chart.
Since you all would like to know, Burrow was efficient from the pocket when again. He completed 16-20 with two touchdowns throughout 11-on-11 work, with Tate and Lodge taking the two scores.
Higgins did have an extremely excellent day on the field. He impressed on the second team with a couple of excellent catches from Ryan Finley, including one where he tipped the ball to himself prior to reeling it in near the sideline.

Auden Tate ended 11-on-11 with a circus TD catch. Joe Burrow just threw it approximately him. #Bengals– Tyler Dragon (@TheTylerDragon) August 24, 2020
Auden Tate and … DaMarkus Lodge???
Burrow remained clear of difficulty aside from a potential sack from Sam Hubbard, however Ryan Finley did not. Among Finleys passes was tipped by Darius Phillips and obstructed by Jessie Bates, which seems like the first time weve mentioned his name given that camp began. Probably the 2 greatest playmakers in the secondary, Phillips and Bates on the field together is a welcome chance for a defense thats aiming to create more turnovers.
