Adeniji out for the year.....

Very unfortunate indeed. I was quite looking forward to seeing how he progressed in his second season.

That sucks he was good for depth , I’m assuming Fred Johnson will be the swing tackle ,Smith will have a redshirt type year and Carman can kick out to tackle if we really need him too.

we were kinda paper thin to begin with on the depth

It wouldnt hurt to bring in another OL vet or 2 for depth. A season ending injury during OTA's is certainly not what the team, in particular the OL needs right now.

I guess if theres a positive the Bengals have 15-20M in cap space. That's "if" ownership is willing to spend some of that money.

I don't want another teams practice squad player Either. I want a battle tested vet who has played At a high level.

It's a must that they at least sign someone to replace Adeniji... It's crazy how these guys get hurt so easily in camps, OTAs, etc.... Seems like there is always 1 or 2 big ones with the Bengals.....

Seems like there is always 1 or 2 big ones with the Bengals..... Probably a weight room injury. Hopefully this is our yearly "out for the year" camp injury and the bug will go somewhere else.

People sometimes forget there are roster caps. In reality, they were only ever going to roster 4 tackles this coming season most likely (Jonah/Reiff/Johnson/Smith). Most games 3 (Jonah/Reiff/Johnson) will be active with Carmen acting as your 4th emergency option in game. Now would you have liked to have Adeniji throughout camp in case something happened to someone? Sure, but I don't think that would change the situation much if it was Reiff or Jonah that went down because Adeniji wasn't going to be the answer.

Time to go ahead and end the drama for Fred Johnson, and sign a quality vet and avoid getting caught with their pants down when the next inevitable injury happens..

And so it begins.
Was hoping we found a gem in him. Quote:"Success doesn’t mean every single move they make is good" ~ Anonymous

He's listed at G. They also still have Prince after his opt out last year. Besides that, most of your vets at this point are going to wait until after TC breaks to sign anywhere.

That's interesting in terms of listing as a guard, I hadn't noticed that. Either way, yea you aren't getting a Okung or Mosses coming here to be your swing tackle in June. In reality, even fringe starting guys will hold out for the inevitable injuries that always come in TC or early season.

What's up with the Bengals and torn pecs? It feels like they have more than their share of those.
Still think there's something wrong with their conditioning/trainers. Do they not stretch or do warmups? ____________________________________________________________

I get your point about younger guys still wanting a starting contract, but for some, another year with a steady paycheck is another year in the league.

Rick Wagner played really well for the Packers last year but a late season knee injury is probably a good reason why he hasn't been signed yet. Dennis Kelly and the ever young Jason Peters might be options as a back up swing tackle. Honestly I would rather they wait until training camp to see who gets pushed out by the deep 2021 offensive line class.
