52 days till Bengals season opener: Every player to wear No. 52 for Cincinnati

The No. 52 for the Cincinnati Bengals isn’t as prestigious as it is for say, the Baltimore Ravens.

But going over the list of names to wear the number for the Bengals over the years reveals plenty of notables.

Back in the late 70s, Tom Dinkel started 28 games for the team. In the mid-80s, Dave Rimington was a first-round pick who played five years with the team.

In more recent years, names like Brandon Bell, Preston Brown and Noah Spence have worn the number.

With roughly 52 days left before the Bengals start the season, here’s a look at every player to wear the number for the team, courtesy of Pro Football Reference.
