The Cincinnati Bengals have adopted a cautious approach to the edge rusher position ahead of the NFL draft, seemingly satisfied with their current roster. With key players like Trey Hendrickson, Myles Murphy, and Joseph Ossai, the Bengals believe they have the necessary talent to compete.

However, one name that has flown under the radar is Cam Sample, who recently returned on a one-year deal after recovering from an Achilles injury. The team's confidence in Sample and the potential of Murphy indicates that they may not prioritize adding to this position in the draft. Still, the Bengals must address their ongoing contract negotiation with Hendrickson before finalizing their strategy.

The New York Giants and Cincinnati Bengals are both struggling this season, with the Giants at 2-3 and the Bengals at a surprising 1-4. Bengals coach Zac Taylor acknowledges the team's accountability for their poor start, emphasizing the need to focus on their upcoming game against the Giants.

Despite their struggles, the Bengals' offense is performing well, scoring 30 points or more in recent games, led by quarterback Joe Burrow. Conversely, the Giants are improving in time of possession and defensive performance, highlighted by Dexter Lawrence's standout play.

Injuries are impacting the Bengals' defense, with key players sidelined, while the Giants are strategizing on how to handle Cincinnati's star receivers. Both teams aim to turn their seasons around in this critical matchup.
