Zac Taylor Shares Preseason Plan for Joe Burrow, Rest of Bengals' Starters and When They'll Make Debut
CINCINNATI — Bengals head coach Zac Taylor plans on playing his starters in the first preseason game.
Taylor shared the news on Thursday, with Cincinnati's preseason opener just nine days away. The Bengals will play the Buccaneers on Friday, August 10 at Paycor Stadium.
"I've got targeted the first game. I'm not setting that in stone right now, but I'm optimistic that that's where it's trending for our team," Taylor said. "This is something I've loosely talked about with the guys. It's not something I've advertised with the team. But I think a week and a half away, that's what's in my head right now."
Ja'Marr Chase's hold-in continues and other key starters like Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard are still out. So we might not see every starter in the preseason opener, but the plan is to get Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins and other key players some work against Tampa Bay.
