As expected, the Cincinnati Bengals are rolling with rookie Cordell Volson at left guard.
Head coach Zac Taylor announced Wednesday the fourth-round pick from this year’s NFL Draft has won the battle against Jackson Carman and will start Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Volson and Carman were competing for the spot throughout the offseason and the beginning of training camp, though it never seemed like the two were ever splitting reps with the first-team offensive line. In Week 1 of the preseason, Carman struggled mightily against the Arizona Cardinals.
