The Cincinnati Bengals have been crippled by injuries the last couple of seasons, and early on, they’re off to a rough start in 2021.
With Joseph Ossai, a premier rookie the franchise took in the third round, having suffered a knee injury that will likely end his season, the team has an opening on their first-team pass rush.
Sam Hubbard, D.J. Reader, Trey Hendrickson and another body will man the front line, and in three-man fronts, the team could send edge linebackers as well, helping put pressure on some big-name quarterbacks they’ll have to face this season.
