CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals held their fifth practice of training camp on Monday and it was a big one with the team donning full pads for the first time.

The heat and stifling humidity that have dominated the first week of training camp provided a new test Monday as the unstable air produced lightning and heavy rain that forced the Cincinnati Bengals to stop practice halfway through and move operations to the indoor facility.

Training camp for the 2025 season is here, though, and McPherson is looking to rebound. According to Dan Hoard, McPherson has made every one of his field goal attempts so far in training camp, going a perfect 18-for-18. McPherson told Hoard he may have gone too far down a corrective path after a great rookie season.

“Simmons says wider receiver Charlie Jones (their top punt returner) and Jermaine Burton are going to see time as a kick-return tandem. In the second year of the new kickoff rule, Simmons is looking for sure handers. He anticipates opposing kickers to spray the ball more to force returns and take fewer touchbacks.”
