The Cincinnati Bengals officially open training camp Wednesday as team prepares for its third season under head coach Zac Taylor. Quarterback Joe Burrow was cleared for camp and will not start the season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, which means his targeted Week 1 return is still on schedule. Left tackle Jonah Williams, running back Joe Mixon, cornerback Trae Waynes tight end CJ Uzomah and defensive tackle DJ Reader also are returning from major injuries in 2020.
While Week 1 was always the goal stated by Burrow, his status heading into camp makes it possible he could play in one of the three preseason games this year. However, Bengals owner Mike Brown said it's unlikely Burrow would play in the preseason during the club's annual media luncheon, which Charlie Goldsmith reported.
There's cause for optimism around this year's team, as columnist Paul Daugherty wrote in Tuesday's edition of The Morning Line. The over/under on Bengals wins this year is anywhere from 5.5-6.5, depending on which sportsbook you visit. And Burrow, Mixon and Ja'Marr Chase all have decent odds to lead the National Football League in passing, rushing and receiving yards, respectively, as Shelby Dermer reported.
