Bengals to Host Bears in Second Preseason Game on Aug. 22

Cincinnati will host Chicago in the Bengals' second preseason matchup on Aug. 22 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time at Paycor Stadium. The game will be televised on the Bengals Preseason TV Network, anchored by WXIX-TV (Fox 19) in Cincinnati and carried by stations in Dayton, Columbus, Lima, Lexington and Louisville. An online stream will be available via Bengals.com, the team app for local viewers, and NFL+ for out-of-market fans.

In the previous preseason contest, several rookies drew attention. Seventh-round tight end Jack Endries recorded a touchdown and a notable yards-after-catch play, while running back Cashius Howell logged multiple effective rushes. Defensive tackle Landon Robinson forced a holding penalty and recorded half a sack. Wide receivers Colbie Young and Dohnte Meyers led the team in receiving yards, prompting speculation that they could earn roster spots.

The Bengals currently lead the preseason series against the Bears, 7-4. Weather forecasts predict mid-70s temperatures with cloudy skies and a chance of showers.
