He used to have some success as nickel DT early in his career, but I dunno how well he'd do there now.
With the lack of healthy DTs right now though, it might be worth a try.
Although Ossai doesn't seem to be doing anything outside either, so it might be Cedric Johnson or bust until Murphy is back.
With all the DL investment in the draft in the past few years, I'd hate to have to spend more picks there next year, but it might have to happen given the cost of quality FAs.
They still have Hendrickson for one more year after this, so that helps.
With Karras, Cappa, and Volson set to hit FA either after this year (Karras) or next year (Cappa/Volson), they also need to draft some IOL to groom.
Maybe we'll see a DE, 3T, and two IOL in the first four picks for the Bengals this next draft.
He played some DT vs the Chiefs because of injury last week he was getting snaps next to Carter and Tufele so he was doubled alot inside.
