Bengals QB Joe Burrow to play 'several series' vs. Eagles
"Several series is what we'll give those starters," Taylor said.
Burrow, 28, has thrown a total of eight passes in preseason games the past four years. The two-time Pro Bowl selection completed 5 of 7 passes in the 2024 preseason, his first action in an exhibition game since 2021 when he threw an incompletion in his only attempt.
Taylor also noted that his starters will see their most preseason playing time in their Aug. 18 date with the host Washington Commanders.
Per Taylor, tight end Mike Gesicki, defensive end Trey Hendrickson, defensive tackle BJ Hill and defensive backs Cam Taylor-Britt and Daxton Hill will sit out Thursday's game versus the Eagles.
Cincinnati's starters are not expected to play in the preseason finale against the visiting Indianapolis Colts on Aug. 23.
Giving Burrow more preseason snaps may reflect the Bengals' desire to avoid another slow start to the regular season. Cincinnati has started 0-2 in each of the past three campaigns, including 0-3 in 2024.

Chelsea could make move for new defender after injury blow
Chelsea defender Levi Colwill is a doubt for the start of the Premier League season after sustaining a knock in training on Monday. Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed the injury, calling it 'a problem', but did not specify its nature or expected recovery time. The 22-year-old's absence is a blow as he was a pivotal player last season, helping Chelsea secure a Champions League spot. Maresca indicated that Chelsea might need to consider a backup option for Colwill in the remaining transfer window if his recovery is prolonged. Chelsea are set to face Crystal Palace in their Premier League opener in just over a week.

James Maddison set to undergo surgery after rupturing ACL
Tottenham midfielder James Maddison ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in pre-season and will undergo surgery, the club has confirmed. Maddison, a 75th-minute substitute, only played for nine minutes in Spurs' pre-season game against Newcastle in Seoul before he was seen in visible discomfort. The 28-year-old was surrounded by teammates and looked upset, with medical staff taking him off the pitch on a stretcher. New manager Thomas Frank said after the game that the injury was 'brutal' and its severity has now been confirmed.. On Thursday, Spurs released a statement saying: 'We can confirm that James Maddison will undergo surgery for a ruptured Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his right knee. 'His surgery will take place in the coming days and, following that, James will then begin his rehabilitation with our medical team. 'Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur wishes James a full and speedy recovery. We will be supporting him every step of the way.' Maddison joined Tottenham from Leicester in 2023 and scored 12 goals last season. He also missed the end of last season with a knee injury, including the Europa League final victory over Manchester United, and Frank confirmed after the Newcastle friendly that he has injured the same knee. The long and gruelling rehabilitation process for an ACL injury means that the England international is likely to miss the majority of the season.

Inside Son Heung-min's departure from Spurs after 10 years
Son Heung-min has completed a record-breaking transfer to Los Angeles FC from Tottenham Hotspur for over £20 million, marking the highest transfer fee ever paid by an MLS club. The 33-year-old South Korea international signed an initial two-year deal, admitting that LAFC was not his initial preferred destination but he was persuaded by the club's general manager. Son spent a decade at Tottenham, scoring 173 goals in 454 appearances and recently captaining the club to Europa League glory. He expressed that leaving Spurs was the 'hardest decision ever' and left him feeling 'very empty', but he sought a new chapter and challenge. The move sees Son reunite with former Spurs teammate Hugo Lloris in Los Angeles, a city with a significant Korean population, ahead of next summer's World Cup in the United States.
