CINCINNATI -- Exactly 14 weeks separate the Cincinnati Bengals from the official start of the 2014 season.

The team announced Wednesday morning that this year's training camp would begin July 23. Two weeks after that first practice, the Bengals will travel to Kansas City to face the Chiefs in their first preseason game. No official date has been announced for that game.

Voluntary offseason workouts begin in Cincinnati next week. Players return Monday for the start of strength and conditioning workouts. Voluntary organized team activities (or OTAs) begin May 27 and are spread out among three separate weeks through June 19. The Bengals also have a mandatory minicamp in mid-June.
