Zac Taylor is under contract with the Cincinnati Bengals through the 2027 NFL season, according to a report by The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr.

Bengals will face a QB making his starting debut for the 23 time in franchise history when the Dolphins turn to rookie Quinn Ewers on Sunday.

The Cincinnati Bengals are out of playoff contention with a 4-10 record. Despite this, coach Zac Taylor says quarterback Joe Burrow will start the remaining games as they aim for wins.

The Cincinnati Bengals will not face quarterback Tua Tagovailoa when they travel to Miami this weekend to take on the Dolphins.

CINCINNATI — Sports Illustrated's Daniel Flick posted his latest 2026 NFL Mock Draft this week, and he had Cincinnati taking an SEC cornerback with the ninth pick in the draft. Flick stuck the Bengals with LSU CB Mansoor Delane.

Quarterback Joe Flacco, now with the Bengals, won the first game of his rookie season against Cincinnati in 2008.
