The Bengals offense had been teasing us with third-year offensive guard Alex Redmond starting at right guard ahead of Trey Hopkins in the past two weeks.
First, he started splitting reps with the incumbent starter in practice. Then, he alternated with Hopkins in the first half of last week’s game against Dallas.
This week, Redmond was given the chance to make a statement on the offensive line in the first drives of the game, while Hopkins watched on the sideline.
It didn’t start off very well though.
