A lot of teams lately, it seems, have dealt with injuries to the cornerback position early in training camp. The AFC North was no stranger to that phenomenon, as the Steelers have seemingly lost second-year cornerback Senquez Golson for the season. The Cincinnati Bengals are also dealing with an injury to William Jackson III, their rookie first-round pick, which may consume his rookie season.
Following the injury to Jackson, the Bengals turned their focus backward, to one of their own. Leon Hall was a former first-round cornerback of their own—Jackson is just the latest of five since the turn of the century, if truth be told—but they were undercut by the Giants, who signed him to a one-year deal worth $2 million.
