Cincinnati Bengals: 7 players to watch in Week 1 of preseason
Cincinnati Bengals players to watch
4. Joseph Ossai
Joseph Ossai is a highly anticipated rookie out of Texas known for blitzing the quarterback and securing the edge. Ossai has a motor that never stops and is constantly in go-mode, which is one of the main reasons the Bengals drafted him. He provides an outlet and a strength to the pass rush that was one of the worst in the league last season.
Ossai is expected to get most of his run with the second unit, but don’t be shocked if he goes in and out with the first team, especially if Trey Hendrickson is out this Saturday. Ossai will see time on the field this year for the Bengals. It is just a matter of how much and when.
No Trey Hendrickson in the team's move the ball drill. Those reps go to rookie Joseph Ossai

Although, Ossai is one of the players to watch out for because once he steps on the field and laces his cleats, he’s in attack mode, trying to make an impact. He could be a big part of the defense and the journey to doing just that begins on Saturday.
