Ready for Week 1 Boyd started Sunday's preseason game against Miami and took one carry for two yards on three snaps. Impact Boyd, Ja'Marr Chase and QB joe Burrow played three snaps apiece, exiting for the night after they failed to pick up a first down on the opening series. Camp reports on the Cincinnati offense haven't been especially encouraging, but there's little question it'll be a pass-happy offense, so Boyd should continue to see steady targets out of the slot even while competing with Chase and Tee Higgins. The sixth-year pro opens his season with a home game against Minnesota, potentially seeing primary coverage from Mackensie Alexander, who was Cincinnati's slot corner last year.
