Will operate as backup Friday Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Browning will operate as the backup to Brandon Allen during Friday's preseason contest against Arizona, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Taylor said that Allen is projected to play the entire first half, while Browning will get the nod in the second. This doesn't come as a surprise, as these two have been operating in these roles throughout the start of training camp with Joe Burrow sidelined following an appendectomy.

Moves to active roster Browning was elevated to the active roster Saturday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact It's a little curious the Bengals will have three quarterbacks active for Sunday's tilt against the Chiefs, but with no negative news regarding the status of starter Joe Burrow, don't expect Browning or No. 2 QB Brandon Allen to see much time on the field.
