Tomorrow’s joint practice with the Chicago Bears marks a pivotal moment for the Bengals, offering their first real test against a top-tier opponent since last season ended. Right guard Dalton Risner, 31, is eager for the challenge after weeks of facing the same defensive schemes — this time, it’s about raw competition under pads and high intensity. The Bears, fresh off a playoff run, bring serious firepower, making this session crucial for both teams as they aim deeper into the postseason. With the Bengals’ coaching staff focused on pushing players and building chemistry, this practice isn’t just about reps — it’s about measuring where they stand against elite competition before the regular season hits full throttle.
