Trouble is brewing for the Cincinnati Bengals as the offensive line keeps getting hit with injuries at the worst possible time.
La'el Collins and Alex Cappa aren't expected back anytime soon and now Cincinnati has to worry about the status of starting left tackle Jonah Williams. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Williams dislocated a kneecab during the Bengals' playoff win over the Baltimore Ravens.
That's obviously not idea. But remember Week 5?
Williams suffered a very similar injury and he was back at it for the Bengals in the second half of the same game. He had to wear a brace but Williams missed no time.
However, it's fair to say that everyone interested in Bengals' football will be monitoring every single injury report very carefully to learn about the status of the team's left tackle. After all, his place would otherwise be taken by Jackson Carman, who lost to rookie Cordell Volson in the preseason battle to start at left guard.
For now, we know the Bengals are expert fighters when they've got their back against the wall. Even without three starting offensive linemen, Joe Burrow led his offense to a 12-play, 84-yard touchdown drive in the third quarter in one of the biggest moments of the game.
Getting similar results in Buffalo won't be easy, though. The Bengals are hoping Jonah Williams proves he's "built different" once more just like he did earlier in the season. It might be the difference between back-to-back AFC Championship Game appearances and going home.
