In our first Crossover Thursday of the year, Locked On Browns host Jeff Lloyd joins Jake to discuss the biggest storylines - competence in Cleveland, Joe Burrow's imminent deal with the Bengals - as the Bengals will face a highly motivated Browns team looking to show it belongs on the list of AFC contender.

The Cincinnati Bengals issued their first depth chart for 2023 and while there aren't many surprises, there are a few tidbits worth digging into, and we circle the gameday activation question for the running back position again. Plus, the Bengals signed another AFC North alumni in TE Zach Gentry, and while Zac Taylor has shown immense growth as head coach in Cincinnati, we look for areas that could continue to improve in 2023.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor had a brief press conference and called Joe Burrow and Joseph Ossai "day to day", and said Chidobe Awuzie would play in Week 1. Those "day to day" declarations have distinctly different feels with Burrow participating in his third straight practice while Ossai was on the rehab field on Monday.

It's officially crunch time on Joe Burrow's negotiations with the Cincinnati Bengals for his contract extension with regular season action right around the corner. The same might be said for Tee Higgins. Plus, we address concerns about another slow start and take our first look ahead at one of the marquee matchups in Week 1 - the Bengals' new look OL against the Browns' upgraded DL.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow practiced again, as expected, in his second day back from his calf strain - and by all accounts, he's been impressive in both practices. Plus, we update the practice squaders as Demetric Felton officially signs his deal and preseason standout Raymond Johnson III signed with Detroit's practice squad.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was back at practice on Wednesday as he ramps up for Week 1 in Cleveland, plus they got most of the guys they wanted back on the practice squad. We break down Burrow's return and how the practice squad shaped up.

The Cincinnati Bengals trimmed their roster to 53 on Tuesday, including the surprising release of wide receiver and special teams ace Stanley Morgan Jr. to retain Trey Hill - at least for now. We break down the moves they made and what's likely to come next as IR moves may be imminent and waiver claims will be processed on Wednesday.

Based on everything we've seen in Cincinnati Bengals training camp practices and preseason games, James and Jake take a stab at projecting the final 53-man roster and navigate the tough cuts and mechanisms available to the front office to maneuver around NFL rules on cutdown day.

Jake Browning put together a great drive to start the Cincinnati Bengals' preseason finale against the Washington Commanders and probably wrapped up the QB2 job - for now - in the process. Meanwhile, Joseph Ossai suffered a dreaded "last game of the preseason injury" that we hope isn't too serious, while Tanner Hudson and Raymond Johnson wrapped up their stellar preseason runs with impressive performances on Saturday.

Come for the backup quarterback battle in Preseason Week #3, stay to see who is getting playing time at receiver, running back, tight end, and defensive line to get a better idea of who is going to make the Cincinnati Bengals' 53-man roster, who will be gameday contributors, and who is primed for a spot on the practice squad.

The Cincinnati Bengals have one more preseason practice on Thursday, and as the regular season is around the corner, starting cornerback Chidobe Awuzie has impressed at every step of his ACL recovery - including Wednesday's practice that led off with an interception in 11-on-11s.

In our final mailbag of Cincinnati Bengals 2023 training camp, we break down when we expect Joe Burrow to return to practice, and a littany of 53-man roster related questions

Mike Santagata (@bengals_sans) joins the show to break down the preseason tape on Jake Browning and Trevor Siemian, the backup offensive linemen, Chris Evans and Chase Brown, and Charlie Jones and Andrei Iosivas.

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Chidobe Awuzie took part in 7-on-7 team drills for the first time since his ACL surgery on Sunday, marking a big step toward his full recovery with Week 1 a few weeks away. Plus, we revisit "stock up, stock down" after preseason week 2, including Chris Evans and Max Scharping as two clear winners this preseason.

Mike Hilton and Joseph Ossai combined for a redzone takeaway for the starting defense to get off the field without allowing points, Jonah Williams played well at right tackle, and Jake Browning outplayed Trevor Siemian on Friday night in a tying effort from the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Cincinnati Bengals will play their defensive starters against the Atlanta Falcons, and treat us to fun matchups like Trey Hendrickson against Jake Matthews, DJ Reader against Chris Lindstrom, and Atlanta's talented skill players Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, and Drake London.

The new-look secondary featuring Dax Hill and Nick Scott will get some reps with the rest of the Cincinnati Bengals' defensive starters against Desmond Ridder, Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, and the Atlanta Falcons offense on Friday.

Projecting the 53-Man Roster after one preseason game is probably a little premature, but with part of the picture from training camp and Cincinnati Bengals tape against the Green Bay Packers, we take a stab at projecting how things will shake out on cutdown day.

Jake Browning and Trevor Siemian seem to be getting worse the longer training camp goes on, which creates an unsettling question for the Cincinnati Bengals as they try to figure out who their new backup QB will be in 2023.

After Preseason Week 1, several Cincinnati Bengals made their case for a roster spot with strong play against the Green Bay Packers. D'Ante Smith, Chris Evans, Andrei Iosivas, and Tycen Anderson all stood out on the field, while Jackson Carman's 4th quarter and the backup quarterbacks have work to do.

While the Cincinnati Bengals lost their first preseason game to the Green Bay Packers on Friday night, what mattered most was that Joe Burrow took a big visible step in his calf strain recovery, and most of the players that are going to be relied upon to contribute to the 2023 Bengals showed at least something to hang their hat on.

Breaking down the key roster battles and rookies that need to show up in the Cincinnati Bengals' first preseason game against the Green Bay Packers at Paycor Stadium

Joe Burrow made his first appearance at Cincinnati Bengals training camp practices since his calf injury, two fights broke out involving the same Packers offensive lineman, and all the takeaways from a day the defenses led the way for both teams.

The Cincinnati Bengals may not play their starters in 2023 preseason games, so the joint practice will be a great opportunity to see Jonah Williams and Orlando Brown go full speed against another team's pass rush, and Jaire Alexander brings a fun challenge to town for Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
