Bengals coach Zac Taylor prioritizes intrasquad competition over joint practices
CINCINNATI (AP) — Instead of conducting a joint practice against another NFL team, Cincinnati Bengals coach Zac Taylor is prioritizing action in the preseason games while also creating some more intersquad competition. In between the Bengals' preseason opener and the Aug. 18 Monday night game against the Washington Commanders, where the starters are expected to play again, Taylor said the Bengals will have some scrimmage-style competition between the offense and defense during six practices this week. The Bengals are one of three teams that are not having a joint practice this year. 'I'm thankful this year we're not doing that (joint practice),' Taylor said. 'It's really good for us to continue to put some install stuff in and tweak some stuff, as opposed to locking in on X opponent that you know that we're gonna spend three days preparing for and practicing for and reviewing. 'We just get to spend that on ourselves. And I think that's really needed right now for this group. That's the way that this camp hit us this year with no practices against anybody else, just focusing on herself. I'm excited about it.' In the preseason opener, a 34-27 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last Thursday, starting free safety Geno Stone left the game on the first drive with what Taylor described as a soft tissue injury. Taylor said Stone is week to week. The Bengals don't have a set backup at Stone's position, and Taylor said that Tycen Anderson and Daijahn Anthony will be in the mix. 'That's a group that we're looking to make sure we're deep enough,' Taylor said. 'They're going to continue to get a lot of opportunities, certainly with Geno being out. It's a good chance to really see where they're at in their development. They've got to contribute on special teams. They've got to prove that they can walk in there and help us on defense as well. Those are guys that these next six practices will be really good for.' Taylor said that it will be another important week for the Bengals' offensive line competitions. Right guard has been between Lucas Patrick and Cody Ford. The Bengals have been mixing in different second-unit offensive linemen all summer. '(It's) very open,' Taylor said. 'I think nothing is set in stone right now. There's still a lot of opportunity. There are eight true practices and two games, so we're going to utilize every one of them to gain all the information we can out of it.' ___ AP NFL:

Shedeur Sanders confronts Browns reporter over 'negative' coverage after stellar preseason debut
Shedeur Sanders had quite the start to his NFL career, and much like his father did, he wasn't shy about calling out a reporter afterward. Sanders threw for 138 yards and two touchdowns in his Cleveland Browns preseason debut against the Carolina Panthers on Friday night, which became the talk of the football world. In a YouTube video posted by his brother, Deion Sanders Jr., Shedeur was seen confronting one of the Browns' best reporters, ESPN's Tony Grossi, at Bank of America Stadium. It wasn't a nasty interaction, though Sanders was sarcastic with the reporter. "Tony, I be hoping you have something positive to say about me," Sanders said to Grossi. "You only say negative stuff about me. And I'm like, 'I ain't do nothing to you.' I ain't see nothing positive that you ever say." Grossi's response wasn't audible, though they shared a laugh afterward. "What I do? What'd I do to you?" Sanders said as he walked away. Grossi's thoughts on Sanders were heard on ESPN Cleveland after the game. "I thought Shedeur was outstanding," Grossi said. He also wrote that Sanders had "put the pressure on QB2 Kenny Pickett and QB3 Dillon Gabriel to get healthy and perform next week." The Browns will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in their second preseason game next week, where head coach Kevin Stefanski said Sanders will be getting considerable reps. Grossi has been critical of Sanders since the start of Browns training camp, but he isn't the only one in the football world who has done so. Sanders' fall down the NFL Draft board back in April was shocking to say the least, as he went to the Browns with the 144th overall pick. Since then, he has been critiqued without even taking a snap. In training camp, Sanders has had very limited reps with the first-team offense, oftentimes working with the second- and third-team players as he develops at the position. But Friday night changed the conversation regarding the highly publicized rookie, and the Browns' quarterback competition is heating up just how the NFL wanted it to. Sure, it remains Joe Flacco's job to lose, but as Grossi said, Pickett and the fellow rookie Gabriel have some pressure after what Sanders produced in Charlotte.
