Bengals’ fans were recently treated to a shock when, just before the team’s game against Washington on Thursday night, they were hit with the news that offensive guard Christian Westerman didn’t make the trip with the team, and that he was considering retirement.
This was especially surprising since it seemed like on the surface that Westerman was very much involved in the competition for the starting left guard position.
There still hasn’t been any concrete reasons for why Westerman is possibly considering retirement, but the team placed the guard on the Exempt/Left Squad list following the game.
