I also wonder, as a psychologist, if Westerman can display the promising talent over the next two weeks. Does he want to be a Bengal? Are these issues that maybe compromised his performance over the last two years or so. Who would the Bengals keep? There is a lot of uncertainty.
#Bengals guard Christian Westerman has returned to the team.

I think Westerman might have a tough time making the team he is going to miss two valuable preseason games. The bigger issue for me is does he have the passion and work ethic to be successful ? I find it unlikely for a player who was thinking about retiring to be mentally ready to play with the season 3 weeks away. Was he committed to training hard in off season and getting better or was he half way in thinking about retiring ? If your a coach on the Bengals trying to figure out the roster you want guys who are all in.
