The Cincinnati Bengals returned from their bye week with lively ping pong games among players, but rookie cornerback Josh Newton was focused on his new starting role due to an injury to DJ Turner.
Newton, a fifth-round pick, is preparing for his first NFL start against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He emphasized his commitment to improving, especially while facing top receivers like Ja'Marr Chase.
Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo praised Newton's high energy and competitive spirit, noting his impressive performance against the Los Angeles Chargers.
