Cincinnati Bengals SS Jeromy Miles has mostly been used on special teams, but he did see some first-team reps during the offseason program. He is in the mix for the strong safety starting job.

Cincinnati Bengals SS Taylor Mays enters training camp as the favorite for the starting job at strong safety, although head coach Marvin Lewis said last week that the job is wide open. Mays has familiarity with the playbook, and worked with coaches during the offseason. It’s likely Mays opens alongside FS Reggie Nelson in Week 1.

Cincinnati Bengals CB Shaun Prater is considered to be on the 53-man roster bubble, but his strong play on special teams helps his chances. He is considered a great gunner on punt coverage. However, it is likely he is a practice squad candidate unless injuries take their toll.

Cincinnati Bengals CB Brandon Ghee was one of the more improved players during the offseason program, and he was very physical in coverage. However, with a veteran-laden roster, it might be a stretch for Ghee to crack the 53-man roster.

Cincinnati Bengals CB Jason Allen was up and down during the offseason workouts. He was drafted as a safety originally, but he is more comfortable at cornerback.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer said after offseason workouts that CB Terence Newman performed like the player he coached earlier in his career, and not the one who struggled over the past couple of seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. Newman even spent most of the six-week break between minicamp and the open of training camp working out with teammates.

Cincinnati Bengals CB Dre Kirkpatrick (hamstring) struggling with a hamstring injury during offseason workouts. If CBs Leon Hall (Achilles’) is not ready, or CB Nate Clements (abdominal) is moved to safety, it’s possible Kirkpatrick moves into the starting lineup. At worst, he is the team’s third corner.

Cincinnati Bengals CB Adam Jones (hamstring) battled a hamstring injury during the offseason program. Over the past four seasons, he has had trouble staying healthy, and the team has plenty of depth. If he cannot stay healthy during training camp and the preseason, his spot on the 53-man roster could be in trouble.

Cincinnati Bengals CB Nate Clements (abdominal) missed organized team activities (OTAs) and minicamp due to an abdominal strain. There is a possibility he could be moved to safety.

Cincinnati Bengals CB Leon Hall (Achilles’) said during minicamp that he wanted to be ready for the first practice of training camp. However, head coach Marvin Lewis said the club is taking more of a wait-and-see approach. It is possible Hall could spend some time on the Physically-Unable-to-Perform (PUP) list during the early portion of training camp.
