The Cincinnati Bengals are changing their philosophy on starters playing in preseason after six consecutive slow starts.

On March 18, superstar wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins signed contract extensions with the Cincinnati Bengals after arriving at Paycor Stadium together. Star quarterback Joe Burrow made comments saying that the Bengals needed to hold on to their weapons, and Chase said that those comments were "a big help" in him eventually re-signing.

In the past, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has been plenty honest about changes to his offseason training approach, whether it’s changing up frequency due to wear and tear, little injury prevention things or even tweaks to his throwing motion while rehabbing an injury.
