The Cincinnati Bengals open the 2025 NFL regular season at the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 8 at Huntington Bank Field.
For most of training camp, roughly the top 40 spots on the roster have felt solid for a group that was retained mostly intact after narrowly missing the playoffs last year. But key battles at wide receiver, linebacker and safety could determine the final spots heading into Week 1.
The roster will be cut to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET Tuesday. Here is a projection for the Bengals:
QUARTERBACKS (2): Joe Burrow, Jake Browning
Browning had a very strong showing in the team's second preseason game and continues to be the best back-up option.
