Well, and more on this as I went back and looked...

He was injured in 2023, but he was on the PS for 10 games before he got shut down with a wrist injury.
He then played in 2 games last season, suffering a torn bicep in the first BAL loss in early Oct.


It's not like he keeps reinjuring the same part, but there always seems to be something new with him.

I remember looking into him back actually for the 2022 draft, but he chose to return to college.
My thought at the time was the injuries would be behind him after fully recovering from the ankle surgery, but it's been one new injury after another with him.

Kirkland is only under contract for this year, same with Volson and Patrick.
Heck, if you add Karras to that, the Bengals have just 2 IOL under contract for 2026 - Ford and Lee.
