CINCINNATI -- Just as he intimated in May, cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick was listed as a starter on the Cincinnati Bengals' initial depth chart that was released Monday afternoon.
The fourth-year corner had been taking the bulk of first-team reps at the left corner position during organized team activities, minicamp and the first two weeks of training camp. Second-year standout Darqueze Dennard was listed behind him, but he has had his share of starter's opportunities this year, too.
There were relatively few other surprises on the depth chart. At receiver, Mohamed Sanu edged Marvin Jones for the starting receiver's job opposite A.J. Green. Jones missed four practices last week after dealing with some hamstring soreness. Previous to the start of camp, he hadn't practiced for multiple consecutive days since the end of the 2013 season, due to a series of injuries that caused him to miss all of 2014.
