The Cincinnati Bengals waived injured guard Cordell Volson, who struggled to develop as a player and is likely to end his tenure with the team due to a season-ending injury, with his future uncertain as he may revert to injured reserve or be claimed by another team.
The Cincinnati Bengals face a challenging situation as they prepare for their Week 14 game against the Dallas Cowboys, with left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. doubtful to play due to a knee injury. Cody Ford is expected to fill in at left tackle, while Cordell Volson returns to left guard. The Bengals' offensive line struggles could be problematic against the Cowboys' strong defense, which ranks ninth in the league for sacks. The team's playoff hopes are slim, and any further setbacks could end their chances.
Cordell Volson, Cincinnati Bengals left guard, is among the top 5 recipients of the NFL's performance-based pay for the 2023 season, earning an extra $905,972. Despite initial struggles, Volson showed improvement and potential, with the Bengals expressing confidence in his abilities. The team hopes for continued growth from Volson to bolster their offensive line and protect quarterback Joe Burrow from injuries.
