Don’t look for Cincinnati Bengals right guard Alex Cappa to suit up for Sunday’s Wild Card game at Paycor Stadium against the Baltimore Ravens.
“It’ll be tough. Don’t know,” said head coach Zac Taylor of the chances that Cappa would be able to play Sunday on his gimpy left ankle.
So who is the next man up?
Meet Max Scharping, who the Bengals claimed on waivers from the Houston Texans on August 31. Scharping was a second-round pick of the Texans in the 2019 NFL Draft who had become a staple of Houston’s offensive line under former head coach Bill O’Brien.
