Cincinnati Bengals' 53-man roster projection following 2025 offseason
The Cincinnati Bengals remade the roster this offseason through free agency and the draft, never mind the big-name departures. Much of the Bengals 53-man depth chart changes will happen on the defensive side of the ball, where mainstays like Germaine Pratt and Sam Hubbard are out and even rookies can step into major starting roles. Advertisement Here's a quick rundown of an updated 53-man roster prediction heading into July. Quarterback (2): Joe Burrow, Jake BrowningCut: Logan Woodside, Payton Thorne No shockers here, with the third quarterback possibly stashed on the practice squad. Running back (3): Chase Brown, Samaje Perine, Zack MossCut: Gary Brightwell, Tahj Brooks, Quali Conley, Kendall Milton The Bengals really like Tahj Brooks, but finding a roster spot at the expense of another could be tricky. RELATED: Bengals, Shemar Stewart nuclear option includes 2026 NFL draft route Wide receiver (6): Ja'Marr Chase, Jermaine Burton, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, Charlie Jones, Jordan MooreCut: Cole Burgess, Jamoi Mayes, Rashod Owens, Mitchell Tinsley, Isaiah Williams, Kendric Pryor Undrafted Jordan Moore just edges out Isaiah Williams, a former waiver wire claim, for the final spot. It's one of the more heated battles about to unfold. Tight end (4): Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, Tanner Hudson, Tanner McLachlanCut: Cam Grandy, Kole TaylorIR: Erick All Jr. Advertisement Erick All Jr. is a bigger loss than most have acknowledged nationally. Offensive line (10): Orlando Brown Jr., Cordell Volson, Ted Karras, Matt Lee, Dylan Fairchild, Lucas Patrick, Amarius Mims, Cody Ford, Jaxson Kirkland, Jalen RiversCut: Devin Cochran, Seth McLaughlin, Tashawn Manning, Andrew Coker, Caleb Etienne, Andrew Stueber The Bengals would probably love to find room for Seth McLaughlin, but he's an injury-list candidate, perhaps. Defensive line (10): T.J. Slaton, B.J. Hill, Kris Jenkins, McKinnley Jackson, Trey Hendrickson, Joseph Ossai, Cedric Johnson, Myles Murphy, Cam Sample, Shemar StewartCut: Raymond Johnson III, Isaiah Thomas, Dante Barnett, Howard Cross III, Eric Gregory This is a big number to keep, but the lack of experience and need for versatility almost demands it. Linebacker (5): Logan Wilson, Maema Njongmeta, Barrett Carter, Oren Burks, Demetrius Knight Shaka Heyward, Craig Young, Joe Giles-Harris Advertisement The remake is complete, with Demetrius Knight starting next to Logan Wilson. Cornerback (6): Dax Hill, DJ Turner, Cam Taylor-Britt, Josh Newton, DJ Ivey, Jalen DavisCut: Nate Brooks, Jalen Davis, Lance Robinson, Bralyn Lux, Marco Wilson The youth movement will see Josh Newton get some big snaps, rotating with the new, young Big Three here. Safety (4): Jordan Battle, Geno Stone, Tycen Anderson, Daijahn AnthonyCut: P.J. Jules, Jaylen Key, Shaquan Loyal The Bengals are adamant about going with the Stone-Battle combo again. The backups remain intriguing depth pieces, at least. Special Teams (3): Evan McPherson, Ryan Rehkow, Cal AdomitisCut: William Wagner No drama here this offseason after names like Austin McNamara provided intrigue last offseason.

L.A. County firefighters to receive Pat Tillman Award at ESPYs
This year's Pat Tillman Award for Service will be presented to two Los Angeles County firefighters during the ESPY awards. (Mark J. Terrill / Mark Terrill/invision/ap) In January, as wildfires tore through greater Los Angeles, more than 7,500 emergency personnel mobilized — confronting searing heat and extreme winds, trying to contain the devastation. Among them stood an Olympic gold medalist and a professional soccer champion. Advertisement L.A. County firefighters David Walters and Erin Regan, former athletes who were among the 7,500 emergency personnel who responded to the January wildfires in Southern California, earned them this year's Pat Tillman Award for Service that will be presented at the ESPY Awards. The award — named after Tillman, the former Arizona Cardinals safety who left the NFL to enlist in the Army following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and was killed in action — celebrates those with deep ties to sports who have served others, embodying Tillman's legacy.

Fire helmet is much more than a good-luck charm Years before joining the fire department, Walters helped the U.S. win the 4x200-meter freestyle relay gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Games. He swam the lead leg in the preliminaries, helping the team set an Olympic record that paved the way for a world-record win in the final. Advertisement During the fires, Walters recounted the exhausting conditions as crews fought blazes that scorched nearly 38,000 acres — claiming the lives of 30 people and destroying homes, businesses and landmarks in Altadena and the Pacific Palisades. 'We're pretty much trying to keep what is left here standing,' Walters told NewNation. 'So we're not laying down. We're staying in our position — that's correct, I did sleep on top of the hose bed last night, just staying ready to do what we can still do." Walters told ESPN he is honored to serve Los Angeles. "This has been a challenging year, but also a rewarding one as we watched the Los Angeles community come together to support their neighbors," he said in ESPN's award announcement. Advertisement Regan, who joined the department in 2008, once anchored the Washington Freedom to a Women's United Soccer Association title following a stellar goalkeeping career at Wake Forest, where she earned first-team All-ACC honors and broke multiple school records.

She co-founded Girls' Fire Camp, a one-day program introducing young girls to firefighting, and launched the Women's Fire Prep Academy, offering mentorship and hands-on training for aspiring female firefighters. 'My career choice was inspired by my family's history of public service, so receiving this award is a tribute to the many great influences that shaped my upbringing," Regan said in ESPN's award announcement. "As first responders, we take pride in hard work and serving others, and I'm truly humbled to be recognized alongside incredible heroes like Pat Tillman.'
