Giovani Bernard good to go for camp?July 27, 2017 | 04:30 AM

Cincinnati Bengals beat writer Geoff Hobson is reporting that "all indications" are pointing to running back Giovani Bernard (knee) being ready for the start of training camp Friday. Writer's Analysis: Similar to rookie receiver John Ross, Hobson believes the Bengals will bring Bernard along "slowly" as a result of his offseason knee surgery. Currently, Bernard is slated as the team's primary receiver out of the backfield/ third down back. Despite the addition of Joe Mixon, I believe Bernard's role on the team is safe as long as his health remains intact. Mixon is, however, a direct threat to Jeremy Hill's role on early downs and could emerge as the starter come Week 1.
