Coaching Staff
When hired prior to the 2019 season, Taylor inherited one of the league’s worst rosters, starting Andy Dalton and Ryan Finley at quarterback en route to a 2-14 record and the No. 1 overall pick that landed the Bengals Joe Burrow. Burrow then tore his ACL in Week 11 as a rookie. A disciple of the Sean McVay coaching tree, we just don’t seem to have all of the information on Taylor as a coach. His work would be marked as “incomplete” right now. But 2021 will have to show some sort of progress, as Burrow enters Year 2 and should be ready for the start of the season. Joe Mixon is back healthy after missing the second half of last season with a foot injury. And Cincinnati landed an elite receiver prospect in Ja’Marr Chase at No. 5 overall in this year’s draft. This offense is stacked with skill-position talent that also include

Donovan Smith against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Both players were placed on the Buccaneers reserve/COVID-19 list this past week, Jones on Tuesday and Smith on Friday. Smith had already been ruled out for Sunday s game, while Jones was never trending in the right direction.
In addition to appearing on the team s reserve/COVID-19 list, Jones is dealing with a fractured pinkie finger which he suffered in the team s Week 14 win over Minnesota. He had surgery this week to insert pins into his finger and did not practice on Wednesday.

The biggest news from Thursday s practice report was cornerback Jamel Dean returning to a full capacity in practice. Defensive Coordinator Todd Bowles said Thursday that they re still uncertain of Dean s status for Sunday s game in Atlanta but Thursday s practice was a step in the right direction for the second-year corner who has missed the last two games.
Conversely, defensive lineman Steve McLendon was downgraded to a non-participant as he battles an elbow injury. McLendon was a late addition this year after the team lost Vita Vea for the season following Week Five in Chicago.
