The Cincinnati Bengals have a quick turnaround from the second preseason game of the summer to Thursday’s Week 3 finale.
There, the Bengals return to Paycor Stadium for their annual linkup with the Indianapolis Colts.
Like the prior weekend’s game against the Chicago Bears, the Bengals won’t play many starters, if any. In the past, this third (or final) preseason game was the tune-up in which starters would get some run.
But the league has shifted from that trend and the Bengals have the benefit of using joint practices with two different teams to get those live-game reps for starters.
As such, this preseason finale is all about the final 53-man roster and starting spots up for grabs. Here’s a look at viewing info for the game.
