Bengals OTAs primer

The Cincinnati Bengals start OTAs Monday and the practices will feature the 91-man roster auditioning for the first time under new head coach Zac Taylor.

Here’s a quick breakdown.

The Dates: May 20-21, 23: Phase Three, Organized Team Activities (OTA practices)

What it is, via Bengals.com

Phase 3: The final four weeks, during which teams may conduct 10 days of Organized Team Activities (OTAs). No live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills are allowed.

Injury Notes: Andy Dalton (thumb), A.J. Green (toe) and others are still on the mend. Notably, Tyler Eifert is slowly working his way back and Darqueze Dennard had a scope on his knee.

Note: The Bengals were one of four teams to delay the start of offseason activities, which means they don’t have to take a week break in the middle of them.

Two Left: Germaine Pratt and Ryan Finley are the only Bengals rookies left without a deal.
