It's almost football season, Cincinnati.
Fans will get a first look at this year's Cincinnati Bengals starting July 23 with the kickoff of training camp. The team will hold eight open practices, including a special Saturday Night Stadium Practice on Aug. 2 at Paycor Stadium.
While training camp hasn't officially started, NFL teams have started drills and offseason workout regimens with their new-look squads. When training camps begin, teams will prepare in earnest for preseason action and, eventually, regular-season games. Contact drills and practices are permitted at training camp, and there will likely be joint practices between teams during this period.
Here's what to know if you're attending the Bengals' open practices.
