Uzomah will get the starting nod at tight end Sunday against the Jets.
With Tyler Eifert (ankle) out for at least the first three weeks, the Bengals will need to turn to a new starting tight end, and it looks like Uzomah will get the nod over the likes of Tyler Kroft. Despite getting the start, the 6-foot-6, 265-pound Uzomah is likely best suited in a blocking role. He caught just one pass this preseason and was limited to a single reception in five games in 2015.
