John

Jerry

Glenn had already been fined $200,000 for conduct detrimental to the team following an outburst Wednesday that reportedly culminated in the veteran asking for his release. Apparently Glenn has been at odds with the Bengals over the handling of his concussion. With all the bad blood that’s been spilled, the two sides appear headed for a messy divorce. John Jerry will spell Glenn at left tackle Sunday versus Jacksonville.

Jerry was one of numerous cutdown casualties this weekend, but only had to sweat it out for 48 hours before landing back in Cincinnati. He’ll claim the roster spot vacated by fellow O lineman O’Shea Dugas, who is headed to injured reserve.

Jerry, 32, was unable to win a starting job on a weak offensive line, but he does have some value for his ability to play guard and tackle with tons of starting experience. Michael Jordan and John Miller are the Bengals’ starting guards.

Jerry was a four-year starter for the Giants before they released him at final cuts last year. He spent the 2018 season out of the league. The veteran will compete for a backup job in camp.

“We have to find a home for him,” said Philbin, acknowledging his offensive line is “not at all” set. The right side of the line remains up in the air, with the roles of Jerry and OT Lydon Murtha uncertain.

It wasn’t much of a test against a Bills defense lacking a pass rush, but the coaching staff was impressed that Jerry “competed” nonetheless. The 2010 third-rounder has recovered nicely since a training camp that was described as a “bitter, bitter disappointment.”

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel hears that Carey’s value is “much higher elsewhere than in South Florida.” Declining RT Marc Colombo is also expected to be replaced. John Jerry, a 2010 third-rounder, will likely be thrust back into a starting role, and GM Jeff Ireland maintains a fondness for tackle project Lydon Murtha. New coach Joe Philbin will be rebuilding the O-Line, sending him back to his coaching roots.

Projected to start at right guard over enigma John Jerry, Hicks appears to have aggravated a mid-August neck injury. Jerry came down with an undisclosed injury in the preseason finale, leaving the position in flux entering the season. Turning 34 in November, Hicks may be hitting the end of the line as an NFL player.

The Dolphins once loved Jerry as a power-blocking prospect out of Ole Miss, but his stock has crashed under the new coaching staff. Overweight, out of shape, and a poor scheme fit, look for Jerry to be waived ahead of final cuts.

Jerry had a chance to nail down a starting job after the Dolphins let veteran Vernon Carey walk, but isn’t ready to shed his “bust” label just yet. It will bode extremely poorly for Jerry’s Miami future if he can’t overtake Hicks in camp.
