Sample, the Bengals fourth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, suffered a torn Achilles, according to Taylor. Trent Brown Offseason free agent signing Trent Brown will get some individual work in on Monday as training camp continues. Brown, a 10th-year player who signed with the Bengals in March, passed a physical and was cleared to return to practice on Aug. 4, the team announced. Preseason Opener The Bengals’ first preseason game is Aug. 10 at Paycor Stadium against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coach Taylor previously said he expects the starters, including Joe Burrow, to play in the game. That game starts at 7 p.m. and airs on FOX19 NOW. Running Backs Cincinnati’s starting running back, according to the depth chart, is veteran Zach Moss. The decision to list Moss as the top running back might surprise some after Chase Brown showed some explosiveness in both the run and pass game last season. The Bengals head coach discussed what has stood out the most about Brown during this training camp.
