How another injury impacts Bengals' offensive line

You could surmise the Bengals could get by with one replacement on the offensive line. It's hard to imagine it working favorably with two backups on the same side. Opposing defensive coordinators will take advantage of the Bengals’ weakest links.

To put into perspective how talented Cappa is and the respect he’s earned, let Karras explain.“I’ve gotten a lot of credit this year and I just want to make it clear that Alex Cappa is the singular force that drives this o-line,” Karras said.

“It’s like having another center on the field. He’s my No. 1 confidon and he’s extremely talented. My heart broke when that happened. I just want to make it clear how much Alex means to this team, this line and this offense. He’s been a huge contributor and a big factor in our success this season.”

If Cappa is unable to play, the Bengals will turn to Max Scharping who filled him for him on Sunday. The Bengals added Scharping as one of three claims on the waiver wire right after the NFL’s 53-man cutdown deadline before Week 1.

Scharping, a 2019 second-round pick, played three seasons for the Texans and started 33 games during his tenure in Houston.

"Max has played a lot of football, and he knows his stuff," Burrow said. "He's going to have to step up but we have all the faith in the world in him."
No one is going to come off the bench and play at Cappa’s level. It’s unrealistic to think that.
