Trey Hopkins will be replaced in the middle of the line by recent signee Ted Karras.
The new league year officially begins on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET. The Bengals could certainly agree to terms with more free agents between now and then, but today could also end with a few transactions that fans have been wondering about. Trae Waynes is going to get released by the team.
Ryan Jensen has become a hot name leading up free agency. The Cincinnati Bengals have been linked to Tampa Bay Bucs center Ryan Jensen for quite a while now.
Another report that connects Bradley Bozeman and Ryan Jensen to Cincinnati. The closer free agency gets, the more a potential plan becomes unveiled for the Bengals’ offensive line.
Hopkins has been with the team six years, and his time may come to an end this offseason. The Cincinnati Bengals are going to be making some big-time moves this offseason, and at the crux of their to-do list is bringing in some talent on the offensive line.
“Can’t we at least dream?” No. Quenton Nelson is one of the very best guards in the league and still only 25 years old. Adding him to the Cincinnati Bengals would be huge for their o-line, as it’d give them the option of finding a competent center and moving Trey Hopkins to right guard.
The Bengals are expected to make a run at Ravens center Bradley Bozeman in free agency according to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network. Bozeman, 27, has made 49 starts and appeared in 62 games in four seasons with Baltimore.
The Bengals are getting back one of their top playmakers just in time for the playoffs.
The Bengals also signed a new kicker. The Cincinnati Bengals have announced the following roster moves: Placed safety Vonn Bell, linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither (already on injured reserve), defensive end Trey Hendrickson, center Trey Hopkins and guard Quinton Spain on the NFL COVID-19 list.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow returned to practice on Thursday after being out on Wednesday. The 25-year-old threw the ball well during the portion of practice that was open to the media.
Four Bengals are dealing with non-COVID illnesses. The days are as short now as the injury lists are long for the Cincinnati Bengals. 10 players did not practice Wednesday, and six more were limited.
Not so good news on Joe Mixon and Chidobe Awuzie. The Cincinnati Bengals’ growing injury report saw improvement during for Thursday’s practice. The big news was Joe Burrow was able to practice and is looking good to go Sunday vs.
The Bengals could be without two starting offensive linemen on Sunday against the Chargers. Riley Reiff and Trey Hopkins missed practice all week due
The Bengals were without two of their starting offensive linemen in practice this week with right tackle Riley Reiff and center Trey Hopkins both nursing ankle injuries. The veterans were both dinged up in Cincinnati's Week 12 win over Pittsburgh.
The Bengals are dealing with multiple injuries at key positions ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. Riley Reiff (ankle) missed practice for a second-straight day. “We’ll hold him out today, probably tomorrow and get him back on Friday," head coach Zac Taylor said on Wednesday afternoon.
Bengals starting right tackle Riley Reiff didn't practice on Wednesday after suffering an ankle injury in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Steelers. “We’ll hold him out today, probably tomorrow and get him back on Friday," head coach Zac Taylor said on Wednesday afternoon.
Shortly after increasing his rehab and practice reps, the veteran center had his most encouraging game yet. The Bengals had a pretty bad start to their game against the Las Vegas Raiders in large part due to a bad matchup.
The Bengals are relatively healthy going into Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, but there are a few lingering injuries of note. Cornerback Trae Waynes is still nursing a hamstring injury and the team won't activate the 21-day practice window for the veteran this week.
Trey Hopkins has been one of, if not the most consistent offensive lineman the Bengals have had in recent seasons. The 29-year-old brought stability
Eight games in, the veteran center is still struggling. Just a couple of years ago, Trey Hopkins was arguably the bright spot of Bengals’ offensive line.
The interior of the Bengals' offensive line has been a weakness for most of the 2021 season. Health and experience are the two biggest issues Cincinnati has had.
