After years of struggles, the 2023 Cincinnati Bengals offensive line has the potential to be the best one we’ve seen since 2015. A big part of that is what looks like a great starting five, but another key to this unit being so good is actually having some quality backups if a starter or two goes down, just as we unfortunately saw at the end of last season.
If healthy, there’s no question the Bengals’ best backup lineman is La’el Collins, who is currently on the PUP list and is expected to remain there to start the season, knocking him out for at least the first four regular-season games.
