It\u2019s not just because what they have right now isn\u2019t good. That much is known. It\u2019s because the depth at a position that\u2019s already a weakness is thin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Heading into Monday night\u2019s preseason matchup at the Washington Commanders, the Bengals are banged up at multiple position groups on the roster, including the offensive line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Cody Ford, who is battling Lucas Patrick for the starting right guard spot, was on the rehab field to start practice on Saturday. In addition, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Cordell Volson sustained a shoulder injury this week and will not be available Monday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI thought he was having a good camp,\u201d Taylor said about Volson. \u201cHe was being consistent for us. He works his tail off, man. He\u2019s one of those guys that you just appreciate, embracing whatever role you put him in. Goes out there and just works and has a tremendous attitude. Again, we\u2019ll see how it shakes out with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Given this situation, how do the Bengals not go out and sign an offensive lineman? The whole season comes down to protecting No. 9. One play, one missed block\u2026 and you know what can devastatingly happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Elsewhere, Geno Stone, Mike Gesicki, Jermaine Burton, and Myles Murphy will all not play Monday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI think Myles is one of those guys probably in the week-ish range,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cWe\u2019ll see kind of where it ends up in the preseason. You want to be cautious. We\u2019re not going to throw him out there for a preseason game, but it\u2019s nothing long-term or significant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">DJ Turner, according to Taylor, is questionable but does not sound like he will play Monday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Again, right guard needs to be the priority right now. It doesn\u2019t matter if the other four offensive linemen are good. That weakest link can derail an entire season of hopes and dreams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bengals need to go get an offensive lineman.
