Cincy Jungle on Josh Johnson

Article3 things we learned from the Bengals’ preseason opener vs. LionsAugust 14, 2026

From the article

Josh Johnson did not really give Cincinnati a good reason he should make the roster. He was strip sacked on third down in the red zone and did not show he can complete difficult throws.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Johnson's strip sack and poor throw execution make him a roster long shot.

Johnson failed to demonstrate roster viability in preseason opener; strip sacked on third down in the red zone and unable to complete difficult throws. At 40 years old, his ability ceiling is limited and well-understood by the Bengals front office. Unlikely to make the final roster.
