2026 Outlook

Orlando Brown Jr. signed a two-year extension with the Cincinnati Bengals in March 2026, committing to protect quarterback Joe Burrow long-term. Despite a blown block against Detroit Lions defensive rookie Eric O'Neill during preseason Week 1, Brown expressed confidence heading into the 2026 season, saying he feels "pretty good" and "not as rusty" as he typically does at this time of year. He acknowledged the mistake on the play where O'Neill beat him on a jump-set, resulting in a hit on Burrow, noting he needs to "do a better job obviously on my jump set and just being clean and making sure that there isn't any type of late leakage." Brown emphasized accountability—"that mistake's on me"—signaling maturity and focus on protecting his franchise QB during a critical preseason. Despite the preseason miscue, his overall confidence level suggests he's ready for 2026 after a solid technical foundation during training camp.
