The statementon his injury said 7 month timeline. Only an estimate, but that is a bit on the shorr side fir an ACL +MCL tear.  Which leads me to believe the damage is not super extensive. If he is back by August, that is a win (from where we are now, anyway). 

Since he is obviously on IR, I'd expect a roster move. Though we coukd just elevate Prince. Though Smith & Carman have BOTH been inactive most weeks. That certainly will change. A call to Whit might be worth it, but he'd have to play for peanuts, and move to RT. Another vet not out of the question.  But I think we roll with Adeniji for at least 1 week. 

Cut him or move him to LG

But why disrupt Volson’s development... Bengals have to re-sign guys. Makes the most sense to just move on
