- 1 storyline vs. Eagles will decide if Bengals look for outside help
The Cincinnati Bengals don't want for much as they approach the preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles .

Backup swing offensive tackle, though, will mostly come down to the play on the field against the Eagles.
Javon Foster is a Bengals training camp breakout and steal as a former notable draft pick in Jacksonville . But he's competing with recent Bengals draft pick Jalen Rivers for the job.
In fact, both guys might end up starting on opposite edges against the Eagles, then moving around, if the coaches want, as the night progresses.
This situation, at least, explains why the Bengals already cut Cody Ford . He got kicked inside, but the Bengals really like rookies Brian Parker and Connor Lew there, among others.
