With the Bengals offensive line looking to regain its footing after losing two starters on Thursday, the club reached out to an old hand Friday and re-signed backup right tackle Eric Winston for another year.
The loss of Pro Bowl left tackle Andrew Whitworth and starting right guard Kevin Zeitler leaves the Bengals with a projected 148 NFL starts among the five spots and that include a combined four at left tackle, right tackle and right guard. Winston, who has been a backup in Cincinnati since he arrived late in the 2014 play-off run, made two of his 125 NFL starts last season.
