CINCINNATI — Trent Brown's ramp-up ahead of the 2024 season took on greater importance this week as Cincinnati's tackle depth took a hit with Amarius Mims out for a few weeks.

Brown is back at practice fully this week as he brings a suddenness to the field.

“He’s sudden," Bengals offensive line coach Frank Pollack said on Monday. "I’ve never seen a guy that weighs north of 370-365 (pounds), whatever it is, and he is sudden. Sudden. He closes his face on the defender and it takes all the air out. He’s right on him. It’s incredible. He plays with length and he mirrors the guy with length. He’s got the understanding of balance when he’s pulling his outside hand and leaving his hand inside and making the outside rusher re-fit. He’s the epitome of a dancing bear. It’s ridiculous. This guy is amazing. It’s ridiculous. He’s played a long time in this league for a reason."

Brown is officially listed at 6-8, 380 pounds, forming a massive bookend wall with Orlando Brown Jr.

He's not the only blocker Cincinnati will need more from over the next month.

"What do we have a month before the opener? He'll be ready then. He's not ready tomorrow. He's got a whole month, and he looked pretty good today for his first day in team (periods)," Pollack said about Brown. "All those tackles - (Jaxson) Kirkland played left tackle today, looked damn good. Cody Ford played right tackle to spell the big man (Brown) and looked pretty good. Kirkland is a young guy - a football player. He's been playing guard most of the time and these are his first reps at tackle. Watch the tape and you will enjoy watching him, too."
