Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green said recently he has yet to meet new Bengals QB Joe Burrow in person, but he was quick to add that he is excited about the team’s offensive talent and says he doesn’t expect it to take long for everyone to get on the same page. ‘A lot of people play into the (narrative of) ‘how long does it take to get clicking,’ ‘ Green said. ‘We’re all football players doing this for a long time. (Andy Dalton) and I came in in 2011 and we went 9-7, and we didn’t have any kind of expectations. I feel like when you have the No. 1 pick, and what we did in free agency and me coming back, (Tyler Boyd) is coming back, John (Ross), Tee (Higgins) and all these pieces that we added on defense, I feel like the talent level that we have now is way different than what we had in 2011.’

Miami Dolphins RB Jordan Howard is utilizing self motivation as he prepares for training camp and the season with his new team. ‘I really don’t have anything to prove to anybody, just to myself that I can still be that type of player,’ Howard recently told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. ‘(I) just feel like I’m one of the top backs in the game, even (if) people don’t give me respect or credit or anything like that. I’m still out here trying to show what I can do.’

Minnesota Vikings RB Dalvin Cook is unlikely to hold out during the 2020 season because of new rules within the collective bargaining agreement, according to ESPN.com’s Courtney Cronin. He would stand to be fined $50,000 for each day of camp missed and he would be unable to recover those funds even if an extension is worked out. In addition, Cook would not accrue a year of service toward free agency if he doesn’t appear at camp by the mandatory reporting date or if he leaves the team after that date. Cook is slated to earn $1.3 million during the final year of his rookie contract.

Cincinnati Bengals CB Darius Phillips should receive a solid amount of playing time this season since he led the team in interceptions last season.

Cincinnati Bengals S Shawn Williams could receive some snaps at linebacker this season.

Footballguys View: Williams might be the odd man out at safety with Vonn Bell signed in the offseason, but the inexperience at linebacker for the Bengals gives Williams a path to snaps as a lot more teams are putting three safeties on the field by including one in a quasi-linebacker role.
