Joe Burrow stated his goal to surpass the Bengals' franchise touchdown record during his first press conference of the 2026 season. He is approximately 50 touchdowns away from the record.

Burrow commented on Trey Hendrickson's free agency move to the Baltimore Ravens, stating it was "not very surprising." He added that he understands how Hendrickson operates.

The Bengals coaching staff is experimenting with rookie Cashius Howell in coverage during early OTA practices. This deployment aims to maximize the number of versatile pass-rushers on the field. Second-year player Shemar Stewart is expected to improve after a tumultuous rookie season. Analysts also identified other potential breakout candidates for the Bengals in the upcoming 2026 season.
