The Cincinnati Bengals play in the AFC North. This hub brings together the club’s official roster, player profiles, and related coverage.
The roster at a glance
The source lists 71 active, practice-squad, and reserve-list entries after released and transferred entries are excluded; 55 carry its ACT designation. An active-roster label is not a guarantee that a player will dress for a particular game.
Every player row below links to an individual profile and preserves the NFL’s status code. The roster was checked on September 20, 2026. It is a dated roster snapshot, not a game-day inactive report.

Plays & drives across covered games
LIVE DATAUpdated Oct 8, 2026, 11:20 pm EDT
Play and drive totals cover 50 completed games across 32 teams. Games counted can differ by team. Rates use summed outcomes and opportunities; no minimum attempts apply. A missing value in any counted game withholds that metric. These are dated covered-game figures, not a complete season.
2026 regular season (weeks 1–5) · 3 games counted
Third downs
Cincinnati Bengals · Third downs · 2026 regular season (weeks 1–5)
First downs count the play record's total flags, including recorded penalty awards; they can differ from drive summaries. Conversion attempts use recorded converted and failed down flags, including flagged kneels. Nullified downs, punts and field goals are not inferred attempts.
Inside-20 drives have a recorded down starting closer than 20 yards from the opponent's goal line. Reaching only the 20 is excluded. Only touchdowns for the possessing team on those drives count. This definition is not an official league red-zone ranking.
Possession includes overtime. Time is minutes:seconds; per-game time is rounded to the nearest second. Possession share divides the team's recorded seconds by the full elapsed time of its counted games, including overtime. Rates use summed opportunities and zero opportunities have no percentage. Equal displayed values share a rank; rankings describe only the matching supplied teams. — = not supplied.
Regular-season record and points; postseason shows how each run ended. Expected W is the win total implied by points scored and allowed (Pythagorean expectation, exponent 2.37); the small figure is actual minus expected, where +1 or more suggests close-game luck. From WHYNFL's results archive, which begins in 1999, counted by franchise (Raiders include Oakland, Chargers San Diego, Rams St. Louis). Splits cover the regular season and playoffs: night games kick off at 7 pm Eastern or later (games without a listed kickoff are left out), and one-score games are decided by 8 points or fewer.

The Cincinnati Bengals hype a September 20 road game at Houston on CBS, lead with Who Dey, and say they have touched down in Houston on Texas time.
The Bengals posted press conferences from Joe Burrow and Zac Taylor, weekly shows on the Week 3 game at Pittsburgh and the Week 4 game against Jacksonville, two volumes of their season series and mic'd-up features with Tee Higgins and Dexter Lawrence II.
The Bengals leaned on Joe Burrow clips—from practice with Joe Mixon and a Pro Bowl appearance to returns in New Orleans—plus a described photoshoot of jersey No. 9 and a compilation of reactions to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins extensions.
Ravens linebacker Trenton Simpson, Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and Broncos guard Ben Powers drew the largest fines, and five players were docked for hip-drop tackles.
Cleveland's quarterback and running back lost nearly $30,000 combined for a celebration against Pittsburgh, while TreVeyon Henderson and Jarrian Jones were also docked for Week 4 plays.
Zac Taylor said Chase is still in the concussion protocol and Higgins is day-to-day with an adductor problem, with both to be re-evaluated on Wednesday before the last game ahead of Cincinnati's bye.
