Bengals defensive line coach Jay Hayes is vying for an eight-man rotation. It already looks like he has seven with the five starters (consider all-everything end-tackle Wallace Gilberry a No. 1) backed up by tackle Brandon Thompson and right end Will Clarke.
That’s if Clarke keeps up his eye-catching play from this spring’s work on the field in the voluntary practices and they expect him to be better when they get the pads on.
So if those are the top seven defensive linemen, who is No. 8 in the rotation and who is No.
