Football is back. The Cincinnati Bengals open 2026 training camp at the Kettering Health Practice Fields just west of Paycor Stadium, and once again the gates swing open to fans for a run of free public practices. It is the best window of the year to see Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and the rest of the roster up close before the games count, and it is the perfect moment to turn your favorite player into a handcrafted plaque for the fan cave.
Our 8-card Joe Burrow 12x15 plaque, the centerpiece for any Bengals fan cave.

Who to watch, and how to put them on your wall
These are the current Bengals worth planning your camp trip around, and every one of them is on a plaque you can hang at home.
Joe Burrow, QB
The franchise quarterback and the engine of everything Cincinnati does on offense. Watch the timing and touch on the deep ball, then take the face of the franchise home.
- 4x6 single-card plaque: $14
- 6x8 plaque: $16
- 8x10 three-card plaque: $26
- 12x15 eight-card plaque: $52
Ja'Marr Chase, WR
The best receiver in football and the burner that makes the offense terrifying. He will be the loudest ovation on the field, and he anchors the biggest plaque we build.
- 4x6 single-card plaque: $14
- 6x8 two-card plaque: $18
- 8x10 three-card plaque: $26
- 12x15 eight-card plaque: $52
Tee Higgins, WR
The 6-foot-4 matchup nightmare who re-signed long term to keep the Bengals passing attack the best in the league. Watch him work the sideline and the back of the end zone.
- 6x8 plaque: $16
- 8x10 three-card plaque: $26
The whole core on one plaque
Cannot pick just one? The Bengals Stars 2026 fan cave plaque puts Burrow, Chase, and Higgins together on a single 8x10, the three names driving the offense this season, side by side.
Prefer the cards themselves? Grab a team set
If you would rather have the loose cards, our 2025 Donruss factory-sealed Cincinnati team set brings the whole roster in one shot, Burrow and Chase included, for a great starter price.
For the history: Bengals legends
Once the current core is on the wall, honor the names that built the franchise. Our all-time-greats plaques bring together Anthony Munoz, Boomer Esiason, Chad Johnson, and more Cincinnati icons.
- Bengals All-Time Greats 12x15 eight-card legends plaque: $52
- Bengals All-Time Greats 8x10 three-card plaque: $26
- Chad Johnson 8x10 three-card plaque: $26
