Nice to see that Bengals fans are pretty high on Volson:

72 snaps. Nothing given up. No hits. No hurries. No sacks.

Cordell Volson may hail from a tiny North Dakota town, but he’ll play a huge postseason role for the Bengals

Even moreso now that they lost their LT Jonah Williams (after losing 2 other starting o-lineman over the last few weeks). Jackson Carman really struggled filling in and I thought he was the guy Cordell beat out for the starting LG spot in the preseason. I wonder if Cordell gets a look at LT this week???
Cordell will not get a look at LT. Even with Jonah presumably out for the season, the Bengals still have 4 guys who can play tackle (although not that well) in Adeniji, Carman, D'Ante Smith, and Isaiah Prince.
Bengals options at LT are essentially: Roll with Carman (who Cordell did beat out for LG, but was a LT at Clemson) at LT and Adeniji at RT or Move Adeniji to LT and start Isaiah Prince at RT. Prince was the starter for the playoffs last year and struggled mightily while Carman exceeded my (very low) expectations last night. Adeniji has the speed and quickness for LT but he's settled in fairly well at RT after La'el Collins got hurt a few weeks ago.
I think they'll roll with Carman at LT and just rely on Burrow continuing to get rid of it in under 2.5 seconds, although Adeniji has the best physical profile to play LT.
My dream scenario is for them to sign Andrew Whitworth and let him practice this week, but not play, and be ready for a potential AFC championship game and Super Bowl. Won't happen, but it'd be an awesome story.
