CINCINNATI — The NFL journey led Desmond Ridder back to Cincinnati for a shot with the Bengals this summer. UC's legendary former quarterback discussed the chance with the media on Wednesday. He's playing behind a familiar quarterback in a very familiar city.

Quarterback Joe Burrow said that the Cincinnati Bengals offense played “poorly” on the first day of training camp Wednesday.

The Cincinnati Bengals are entering the seventh season with Zac Taylor as head coach and Year 5 of the Joe Burrow Era under center after he was the No. 1

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow isn't thrilled with the protracted standoffs that are keeping defensive ends Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart out of training camp.

By the end of the day today, a total of 30 teams will be in training camp, and by the end of the day tomorrow, all 32 teams will be in camp. And not that anyone's keeping track, but we're also less than 10 DAYS away from the first preseason game of the NFL season and that will happen on July 31 with the Chargers facing the Lions in the Hall of Fame Game.

The decision has quickly been met with frustration from Bengals fans, with one big factor being that adding any more wear and tear on Burrow’s body on top of the already long 17-game regular season could end badly. “If burrow is injured, then get ready for Taylor to be fired and the bengals to be trash,” said one comment.

After having a reported long conversation with Bengals' Trey Hendrickson, Adam Schefter doesn't see him bluffing in contract disputes.

NFL training camp season is officially upon us, which means holdout/hold-in season is too. Who are the big names who either haven't reported or aren't taking full part in practice while seeking a new contract?

When the Cincinnati Bengals report to training camp on Tuesday, Trey Hendrickson won't be there. The Bengals star is currently about 800 miles away from Ohio in Northern Florida, which means one of two things happened: Either he forgot he was supposed to report to training camp or his contract standoff with the Bengals has gotten so ugly that he decided not to show up.
