Cordell Volson is expected to miss the season after sustaining a right shoulder injury at practice on Aug. 15 and will undergo surgery to repair it. Coach Zac Taylor said the situation appears headed toward season-ending surgery but noted the final determination will follow the operation. Volson was slated as a backup right guard for the upcoming season after starting 48 of 50 appearances at left guard over the past three years. Volson was a fourth-round pick in 2022 and recently agreed to a restructured contract reducing his total value to $2.6 million.
CINCINNATI - The Cincinnati Bengals suffered a significant blow to their offensive line depth. Reserve guard Cordell Volson is expected to be out for the year following a right shoulder injury, coach Zac Taylor said on Wednesday. Volson will have surgery to repair the injury he suffered at practice on Aug. 15.
"That's a tough one for him," Taylor said. "He's been a guy that's really worked hard for us. I wouldn't say it's set in stone until he has the surgery, but that's the direction it seems to be heading."
Volson, a fourth-round pick in 2022, was projected as a back-up right guard entering this season. Over the last three years, he started in 48 of 50 appearances at left guard. This offseason, Volson and the Bengals agreed to a restructured contract that lowered the total value to $2.6 million, according to OverTheCap.com.
