Bengals' Dylan Fairchild: Starting left guard

Fairchild started the Bengals' preseason opener against the Eagles at left guard and held his own, albeit against their backups, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Nonetheless, the Bengals are optimistic that Fairchild, the team's third-round draft pick, will acclaim himself well in the role in the regular season and should begin the season as the starter.
