Here are our 46 locks for the Bengals 53-man roster
The Cincinnati Bengals will have to make some brutally tough choices when it comes time to reduce the roster to 53 players later this summer.
Thanks to quality depth at places like wide receiver and along the offensive and defensive lines on a roster that has already been competing for conference titles, the Bengals might just have one of the tallest tasks of any team.
Of course, the Bengals can always make those tough calls and then hope the guys they let go quickly turn around and stick in town via the practice squad.
For now, though, these are the 40-plus players we see as bonafide locks for the final roster by the time the deadline rolls around before Week 1.
