Bengals defensive coordinator Al Golden is ready to put that rough campaign behind his young unit. "Really excited about the nucleus we have coming back," Golden said at the 2026 NFL Combine. "It’s not just a fresh start, you know what I mean. You’re starting from ground zero. There are pieces there. A healthy Dax at the end of last year, if you look at his last eight, nine games, when he was healthy. Really starting to transition better. His change of direction got better.
