Bengals hosted 4 players on tryouts at training camp
The Cincinnati Bengals worked out four players over the weekend on a tryout basis.
According to The MMQB’s Albert Breer, these were the players in town:
Frederick Mauigoa, C, Washington State
Reginald McKenzie, G, Tennessee
Maurice Smith, DB, Georgia
Garrett Taylor, DB, Penn State
The biggest name is McKenzie, son of former Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie. He was a sixth-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018.
Many times these sorts of tryouts are coaches just getting familiar with names out there in case they need to make a move at a later date. Given the injury history in the offensive trenches lately and Trae Waynes and Shawn Williams already suffering varying injuries in the secondary, future-minded workouts would make some sense here.
The Bengals otherwise had a relatively normal practice Sunday after a day off, though got some notable returns in the form of Tee Higgins and John Ross.
