With the additions of multiple interior offensive lineman at the start of free agency for the Cincinnati Bengals, the writing was on the wall for Trey Hopkins, and that has now been made official with his release.
During a Friday news conference, head coach Zac Taylor announced that Hopkins was being cut. Taylor also confirmed that the newly-signed Ted Karras is the team’s starting center.
Hopkins was brought in to Cincinnati as an undrafted free agent following the 2014 NFL Draft. He did not instantly become a contributor as he would not see the field in a regular season game until 2016.
