Especially Willis.

They will play especially Willis in a rotation as long as they perform the Bengals one more rotation at the offensive line but hunt and others have not perform that is why you saw increase reps with Johnson and Dunlap last year. 
Lawson on the other hand could see limited time because remember he might be a hybrid learning linebacker in this system also it might take a little bit more time for him to get on the field but I could see him in specific down situations getting on the field earlier.
This idea of the Bengals just sit rookies because the rookies is a total misconception there are a lot of variables that go into playing time
