The Cincinnati Bengals encountered one of the stronger storms so far this training camp. Before it hit, it was truly a thing of beauty.

As you can imagine, practice was moved inside the bubble after that.

One of the biggest trends was players getting days off/new injuries (we do not know for some of them until after practice). One of the bigger names was one of the team’s starting cornerbacks.

Hill has been dealing with what appears to be a hamstring issue he suffered in last Thursday’s practice. It appears the team is exercising an abundance of caution with Hill. He probably appreciates it to a point as well since he is in a contract year looking for a new deal.

Safe to say Hill likely won’t play against the Detroit Lions on Thursday.

As for the rest, it seems there were a bit of rest days galore for the defense

Dexter Lawrence and Bryan Cook seemed to have veteran days. Meanwhile, Cashius Howell and Tacario Davis both missed at least the team portion of practice. Likely will need updates.

Tee Higgins one-hand snag​

Higgins appears to be in mid-season form with his circus catches. Higgins is known for making some absurd catches, and this one comes on a 4th-and-2 situation to score a touchdown.

Tee caught that? https://t.co/VWZPCWw3Y4pic.twitter.com/xTwnqltJcL

Highlights from practice​

First we have Burrow showing of his mobility and his ability to throw off platform.

Rookie center Connor Lew got some snaps with the first team. That is a huge opportunity for him, and one many didn’t expect him to even be available for due to his injury from his last year in college.

He may not have gone against Lawrence, but it is a solid stepping stone for who appears to be the heir apparent to Ted Karras at center.

With no Dexter Lawrence to contend with, Bengals giving center Connor Lew snaps with the 1s.
So add Ted Karras to the veterans resting.

Safety Jordan Battle came up big with an interception. He was able to come from the other side of the field and intercept a deep ball to Ja’Marr Chase that would have easily been a touchdown otherwise.

And here is a look at rookie Connor Lew getting some run with the first-team offense.
