The Cincinnati Bengals’ 2025 training camp has spotlighted intense position battles at right guard, cornerback, and tight end, each critical to the team’s success. Right Guard Battle: The competition for the starting right guard spot pits veteran Cody Ford against free-agent signing Lucas Patrick. Early in camp, Ford has taken the lead, bolstered by his performance last season and Patrick’s recent injury-related absence. ESPN’s Ben Baby notes Ford’s “inside track,” but Patrick’s experience and agility in pass protection make this a tight race. Rookie Jalen Rivers has also taken snaps at right guard, adding intrigue, though Ford’s consistency gives him the edge for now. The outcome will significantly impact quarterback Joe Burrow’s protection and the offensive line’s cohesion.

Cornerback Battle: The cornerback room is crowded, with Dax Hill, Cam Taylor-Britt, DJ Turner II, and Josh Newton vying for starting roles. Hill, recovering from an ACL injury, is a lock for the nickelback spot, while Taylor-Britt and Turner are projected starters on the outside. Newton, however, has emerged as a strong contender, impressing coaches with his versatility and earning first-team reps. DJ Ivey’s strong camp adds depth, but Newton’s momentum suggests he could claim a Week 1 starting role, especially in the slot, as noted by A to Z Sports. This battle will shape the Bengals’ secondary against high-powered passing offenses.
Tight End Battle: The tight end position features a unique dynamic, with Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, and newcomer Noah Fant competing for snaps. Sample excels as a blocker, Gesicki as a receiving threat, and Fant offers all-around potential. Per Stadium Rant, Fant could emerge as the primary option if he adapts quickly, while Gesicki’s slot role and Sample’s run-game contributions ensure all three see significant time.
