Bengals see ‘night and day’ difference with Jackson Carman
Cincinnati Bengals guard Jackson Carman is one of the players facing the most pressure in 2022.
Carman, after all, struggled to get on the field for a variety of reasons as a second-round pick a year ago. He’s now also the only guy fighting for a starting job along the revamped line.
Friday during the third practice of training camp, offensive line coach Frank Pollack told reporters that they see a “night and day” difference in terms of Carman’s weight loss compared to last year, which served as a lesson of sorts, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Kelsey Conway.
That’s good news for a Bengals team that needs that fifth and final spot to complete the proverbial puzzle that is the unit in front of Joe Burrow.
Carman still remains slotted in a direct competition with rookie Cordell Volson this summer, but Volson has been filling in at other spots due to injuries suffered by others — for now.
And while this is prime “coach speak” season, Pollack doesn’t usually partake, so it’s a nice step forward for Carman.
