CINCINNATI — Zac Taylor met with the media on Thursday as Cincinnati wrapped up 2024 minicamp and began resting ahead of training camp.

The grind of the NFL season is almost here and Taylor is happy with what he's seen from a heavier offseason workload.

"They did a great job preparing themselves to get ready for these guys and getting the most out of this process we've had the last couple weeks," Taylor said about the franchise's approach this week. "I thought the players bought in completely got done everything that we need to get done, continue to improve and now just keep that momentum going on their own these next five weeks and so that when we come back to training camp, we're not restarting or setting back we can keep the momentum going that we've had and have a great training camp."

All eyes were on Ja'Marr Chase this week as the star wide receiver returned to the team for the first time this offseason and got high praise from his head coach.

"It was good to get him back in here. He's in great shape," Taylor said about Chase. "He had his process he went through. Again when someone's not been here you don't want to rush him into things, but he clearly has done a great job this offseason. Really happy to get him back in the building. He was in all the meetings, did all the all the walkthroughs and all that stuff and then did a great job mentoring some of the other players as he was out there during practice so I thought we got what we needed out of him and was appreciative of him of even though it is mandatory. There's still guys that aren't always always there. And he showed up and and did did everything that we talked about him doing."
