I could see Bengals bring Hopkins back slowly and with that it could open up the door big time for Price. To the point that Hopkins won’t get his job back. Obviously Hopkins is still valuable to the roster for him being able to backup all 3 interior line positions. We didn’t pick up Price’s option but maybe he’s finally figured it out with Pollack coaching. Figured it out enough that he could be the center of the future. One can hope.

FWIW, Price scored a 56.0 overall rating at PFF for the Washington game.  That isn't as bad as it sounds when you break down the numbers:

He only played 11 snaps, 7 in pass protection, and 4 in run blocking.  His pass protection was a very encouraging 76.4.  This represents a massive improvement for him, and against a very strong defensive front.  His run blocking was a below average 52.2, which pulled down his overall score.
