Bengals Announce Joint Practice With Bears Before Preseason Meeting

Overview

• Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor and the Bengals’ team site announced the clubs will hold a joint practice and list a preseason game between the teams on the schedule, but the Bears have not publicly confirmed the practice.
• Coaches use joint practices to run scripted, situational reps that teams cannot get in limited preseason game snaps, making the sessions valuable for evaluating players and prepping starters.
• The Bengals sometimes allow fans at camp practices, so attendance could be possible if the team releases ticketing and timing information for the joint session.
• Chicago has a recent history of hosting joint practices and met Cincinnati in a high‑scoring regular‑season game last year, which raises local interest in the preseason pairing.
• What to watch next is a formal confirmation and logistics from the Bears and final practice times and fan‑access rules, which will determine how the teams and supporters plan for the visit and the preseason game.
