The Bengals are counting on Stone as a starter after last year’s debacle for the overall unit that resulted in coaching and player changes. Jordan Battle will get the nod next to him, though creative rotations with the likes of Dax Hill aren’t totally out of the question.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie receiver Jermaine Burton wasn't on hand with the team for the early part of Sunday's practice during training camp at Paycor Stadium. The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway reported that Burton wasn't with the rest of the receivers and wasn't on the rehab field.

Monday, July 28, saw the Bengals in pads for the first time this training camp, and that came 10 days and six practice sessions away from the club's preseason opener at the Philadelphia Eagles on Aug. 7.
