The Cincinnati Bengals' defense showcased its potential during the final training camp practice on August 21, 2025, allowing just one touchdown in a 35-play scrimmage against a potent Joe Burrow-led offense. The lone score was a 42-yard seam pass to Isaiah Williams, but the defense otherwise stood firm, with standout plays like a batted ball by rookie Shemar Stewart and a fourth-and-goal stop by Kris Jenkins Jr. and Oren Burks. Defensive coordinator Al Golden praised the unit’s energy and competitiveness, emphasizing their ability to make game-changing plays like red-zone stops and takeaways, signaling a promising evolution from last season’s struggles.

Joe Burrow has enjoyed his healthiest training camp yet, a stark contrast to previous years marred by injuries like a torn ACL, appendicitis, and a wrist issue. His uninterrupted offseason has allowed him to fine-tune the offense, highlighted by precise throws and audibles that exploit defensive looks. Burrow’s command was evident in a routine snap where he adjusted to a linebacker’s movement, showcasing his elite decision-making. This continuity has the Bengals optimistic about avoiding slow starts, with Burrow confidently stating he’s playing better than any quarterback in the NFL right now.

The right guard position remains a battleground, with Lucas Patrick, Cody Ford, and rookie Jalen Rivers vying for the starting role. Patrick, a veteran, has faced scrutiny after being replaced by Rivers in a preseason game, with his pass protection under question. Rivers, a fifth-round pick, impressed with strong run-blocking grades, while Ford’s versatility as a swing tackle adds depth. With Cordell Volson out for the season, the competition intensifies, as protecting Burrow is paramount for Cincinnati’s Super Bowl aspirations.
