The Cincinnati Bengals were back in action tonight, taking on the Arizona Cardinals in their first preseason game of the 2022 season.

While neither Drue Chrisman or Kevin Huber looked particularly bad, neither did anything to get a leg up on the other. Hill had a near interception in the end zone, but wasn’t able to haul it in as the receiver turned into a defender. Add in a solid showing from rookie Cordell Volson and Carman may find himself on the wrong side of the left guard battle if he doesn’t improve, quickly. Punters: It appears the Bengals are having a true battle for the punter position for the first time in 13 years. Zach Carter: Rookie defensive lineman Zach Carter had a strong showing in the first half. Let’s take a look at the winners and losers of Friday night’s contest.

Here's what we learned from the Bengals' 36-23 preseason loss to the Arizona Cardinals Friday at Paycor Stadium.

The Bengals signed Drew Plitt following the news that Burrow would miss time during training camp and it's highly likely Cincinnati adds another quarterback with Allen and Burrow likely out another week. Anarumo is known for playing up to six defensive backs at times and it appears Hill could be a major contributor in his first season. Following the game, Taylor said the initial reports are that Allen shouldn't be out for an extended period of time. He recorded two pass breakups on critical third downs and looked comfortable in his role in the middle of the field. "He made two real good plays, one down there in the low red (zone) and one on the field there on third down. Taylor said that position is far from solidified and it showed in the first preseason game. "We want those guys to get as many reps as possible," Taylor said of the battle at left guard. On Friday against the Cardinals, Carman played the entire first half and was the only offensive starter to play. They feel they lucked out in landing Hill, especially with Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell’s futures in Cincinnati following this season yet to be determined. Carman showed up out of shape for training camp and after a move from left tackle where he spent his time in Clemson at to guard, he struggled and slipped down Cincinnati’s depth chart. While it’s the first preseason game and there’s no reason to panic completely, Carman not dominating the Cardinals’ second-team defensive line is underwhelming. Offensive line coach Frank Pollack shared the plan with Carman and Volson.

It was a complete performance for the Arizona Cardinals and should make some people feel like the Cardinals are continuing to head in the right direction. Meanwhile, until the guys that are unlikely to make the team came in, the defense was really, really solid. The Arizona Cardinals were dominant in their 36-23 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in their first preseason game of 2022.

Jackson Carman is the only Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman who has to fight for his starting job. He didn't put up a very good fight.

There are two more preseason games before the regular season opener gets underway so Carman still has a chance to turn things around. He might already find himself in that situation after his pitiful showing during Friday’s preseason opener against the Cardinals. Yes, Volson went against lesser talent but it’s still a positive sign that he did good things when the opportunity presented itself.

Despite an early slew of injuries to the likes of Brandon Allen and some rough offensive line play, names like Chris Evans and — of course — Evan McPherson had ...

After Jackson Carman's struggles on Friday, it might be time to see Cordell Volson at left guard for the Bengals.

He was also twisting during another portion of his workout, one of the best signs as he looks to get over the pain in his abdomen. If that ends up being the case, that leaves plenty of time for him to feel closer to full power by the time the Steelers come to Paycor Stadium in 29 days. While a 4-yard return doesn’t look impressive on the surface, it was an extremely short punt that Lassiter had no chance of fielding. It indeed was Bates in the suite and not just a random pair of Nikes on his account. That versatility was one of the primary selling points for the Michigan product and they put it on display Friday. Both should make coaches feel better about what looked to potentially be a concern coming out of camp with the depth behind the starting four up front. He also knocked down a pass with his left hand while in a bull rush from the three-technique spot. On his third snap, he successfully picked up a stunt similar to the one the Cardinals ran in the first half. Just before halftime, Bengals safety Jessie Bates III posted a video to his Instagram story of his feet on the rail of a suite on the 20-yard line of Paycor Stadium. McSorley eyed an open route up the seam, but Hill read the throw and beat the receiver to the spot. He also got shoved back into the lap of quarterback Jake Browning on another play, forcing Browning to spike the ball into the ground. Jackson Carman was the only projected offensive starter to appear in the 36-23 loss, playing the entire first half before turning things over to Volson after halftime.

The Cincinnati Bengals lost their preseason opener to the Arizona Cardinals but fear not! It was only preseason. Who were the winners and losers?

He had a few noteworthy plays in the first half and looked to be a nice rotational piece for the d-line this year. The second-year kicker knocked through a 56-yarder and a 58-yarder and showed yet again why he was one of the most fun Bengals to watch last year. He brought the noise in his first preseason game, knocking down a pass on his first snap in the stripes. Prince struggled to show much of anything and the lowlight was late in the first half when he was pushed around by Christian Ringo and eventually led to a strip sack. Unfortunately, it didn’t go well for Carman. He looked like he was on roller skates throughout the night and was the only overall starter left out on the field when it was all said and done. It might have just been a preseason outing but it was still good to see the stripes back out there doing their thing.

But it wasn't all bad for the team and names trying to make the final roster. Here's a look at stock risers and fallers. Stock up: S Dax Hill.

He’s shifty, versatile and ready to have that No. 2 spot as a sophomore. He was struggling with the backups and making notable mistakes, so despite his second-round status, he might not be getting first-team reps much longer. He’s not going to be a starter during the regular season, but it’s a really good start to his pro career. That is, some key pieces on the line took a nosedive on a night where most of the team’s outright starters didn’t see the field. He already showed he can play the slot in three-safety looks, which is good to know for the regular season. Here’s a look at stock risers and fallers.
