Cincinnati Bengals News: Which Position Battles Are Worth Watching in Preseason Week 3?

The Cincinnati Bengals will wrap up their 2023 preseason slate when they travel to the nation’s capital to play the Washington Commanders on Saturday.

PFN Bengals Podcast: Joe Mixon Speaks, a Joe Burrow Update, and Roster Battles Ahead of Preseason Week 3

On this week’s episode of the Pro Football Network Bengals Podcast, we discuss what led to Joe Mixon’s recent boycott of specific reporters and how interactions with the veteran running back could go from here.

Plus, which Bengals players are still fighting for a roster spot as Cincinnati approaches its final preseason game?

Jake Browning and Trevor Siemian have both struggled during the exhibition season. Is either quarterback ready to back up Joe Burrow, or will the Bengals look for outside options?

Has Chris Evans sewn up the RB2 role with his preseason performance? Or will Chase Brown be a factor early in the year?

And which reserve offensive linemen are vying for jobs? Has Jackson Carman worn out his welcome in Cincinnati, or will his draft status, upside, and physical talent outweigh his lack of consistency? Have Max Scharping and Cody Ford done enough to make the roster? What about Trey Hill?

We’ll be returning to your airwaves each and every week — join us next week when we recap the fallout from the Bengals’ third preseason game and asses how Cincinnati’s roster looks after the NFL’s cutdown deadline.
