Longtime Head Trainer Paul Sparling retired at the end of the 2021 season. The Bengals have hired Louisville Head Trainer Matt Summers as the new Director of Sports Medicine and Head Trainer
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.

Paul's been running on to that field for as long as i can remember. My brother used to call him "Ol Skunk Head" because of the white stripe running through the center of his hair. I hope he enjoys retirement, he has surely earned it.

Not good news for the team, Paul Sparling was an excellent trainer and won the award for it a couple of years ago. Not saying anything bad about the new guy, I don't really know much about him. I kind of expected Nick Cosgray to step into his shoes.

I've talked to Matt a few times over the last 20 or so years. He's a really great guy and people he's worked for always seem to want him to stay around. My impression of him is that he absolutely lives to build good relationships with the players he works with. I believe we are in good hands here.
