Jackson Carman has started two games in his young career while Xavier Su’a-Filo has been injured.
Carman got his first start against the Steelers, and the Cincinnati Bengals snapped Pittsburgh’s streak of 75 straight games with a sack. His second start was four days later against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
All of this was after Carman was third team on the Bengals’ initial depth chart. He was getting beaten out by Michael Jordan and D’Ante Smith.
Now, Carman has gotten a few starts under his belt, and he’s come a long way since training camp.
