Like Cardinals, Bengals’ starters not playing in preseason opener

The Arizona Cardinals and Cincinnati Bengals face off in their preseason opener Friday night at the newly named Paycor Stadium. The Cardinals will not play hardly any of their starters in the game.

That is the plan as well for the Bengals, head coach Zac Taylor said, according to Cincinnati’s Local 12.

Starting quarterback Joe Burrow has been out all of training camp since having his appendix removed. Brandon Allen will start for Cincinnati, going against Arizona’s Trace McSorley. Jake Browning will also get work for the Bengals.

According to Bengals Wire managing editor Chris Roling, really only rookie first-round safety Dax Hill and second-year starting guard Jackson Carman will get significant playing time.

The Cardinals will also have a handful of young players who have something to prove to play like cornerback Marco Wilson and linebacker Zaven Collins.
