Bengals finalize 53-man roster for 2023 season
Cincinnati Enquirer The Cincinnati Bengals have finalized their 53-man roster for the upcoming season. Head coach Zac Taylor is pleased with where his roster is at as he heads into his fifth season. Taylor believes this team has more depth than ever before.
"In my five years here, I think this is the hardest, and it is the hardest because you have a higher number of quality players that are worthy of being on it, as opposed to maybe there's years where you have 49 or 50," Taylor said. "And you're trying to sort through and it can be difficult that way, too. But I think this year, I felt our 90-man roster was as strong as it's ever been.
And so obviously that leads to more difficult decisions there for the final 53.
