The Cincinnati Bengals approach Tuesday’s final cut deadlines with a tall task when forming the final 53-man roster. More than in the past few years, this is the cutdown process that features more rookies in prominent roles and possible outsiders stealing jobs. That, on the heels of new coaches in key spots under Zac Taylor.

The Bengals will have to make some tough roster decisions before Week 1. These 2 Bengals players could end up being cut.

The Bengals must reduce their roster to 53 players by August 26th. Key position battles include right guard on offense and the cornerback spot opposite Cam Taylor-Britt. The team may look to add offensive linemen and defensive tackles after other teams make cuts.
