The Cincinnati Bengals are preparing for their final roster cuts ahead of the 2026 season, with multiple outlets tracking the team's moves. Per reporting from Yahoo Sports and Cincy Jungle, the Bengals concluded their preseason with a 30-13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday night, finishing 3-0 overall.

The Bengals are in an improved position compared to last year, according to Yahoo Sports, facing "some very good problems to solve before final cuts." Cincy Jungle's Anthony Cosenza noted that the team now has a "crowded roster" and will need to determine which players have earned spots on the Week 1 roster. The preseason finale marked the end of evaluations, moving the focus to the waiver wire process for final cuts.

Like all NFL teams, the Bengals must reduce their roster to 53 players by the league deadline. Exact timing for Cincinnati's announcement has not been specified in available reporting, though the Kansas City Chiefs face a 5 p.m. Sunday deadline for their cuts, per Arrowhead Pride.
