With their clash against the Lions just a couple of days away, head coach Zac Taylor revealed his plans for quarterback Joe Burrow and several of the team’s other star players in this game. Cincinnati has spent much of the offseason revamping its defense, in an effort to properly support Burrow and the offense. With that in mind, Taylor has decided that Burrow and several of the team’s other star players, such as Chase, Higgins, and defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, will play in the preseason opener. That is likely what Taylor will have his top guns do in this contest against the Lions. The team has two more preseason games lined up after this one, so guys like Burrow don’t need to get a ton of reps in this game.
