Bengals linebacking corps dubbed third-worst in NFL

The Cincinnati Bengals real problem in 2019 was moving the ball and consistently keeping their defense off the field. After adding quarterback Joe Burrow and hopefully seeing Jonah Williams and A.J. Green return, that problem may soon vanish.

The new issue with the Queen City’s beloved team that could rear its ugly head is the lackluster linebacking corps. Can they stop the run? Can they defend tight ends? Given the new faces and the lack of experience, expectations should be tempered for this unit.

For Cincinnati, Jordan Evans, Germaine Pratt, Josh Bynes and then two rookie additions third-round pick Logan Wilson and four-round pickAkeem Davis-Gaither will all be fighting for snaps.
