CINCINNATI – The Cincinnati Bengals open training camp in two weeks, and the NFL‘s deadline for cuts to get down to the 53-man roster is less than two months away.
Who is fighting for a starting job? Who is competing just to make the roster? Who should have a goal of making the 16-man practice squad?
Let’s rank the players on the roster from 1 to 87 for an early look at the biggest battles in training camp.

While there are only 87 players currently on the roster, the expectation is that the team will add three more to get to the 90-man limit before the start of camp.
And if the Bengals can sign a foreign-born player, it could go to 91, as he would get an exemption through the International Player Pathway Program.
