Ex-Bengals OG Clint Boling says his retirement is due to the discovery of a blood clot in his right leg following last season.

Boling said if not for the clot, he would have returned for 2019. Boling’s retirement has left the Bengals ruinously thin on the left side of their offensive line.

Bengals OG Clint Boling retired after eight seasons in the NFL.

Only 30, Boling cited “medical” concerns as the reason for his retirement. “This is not an easy decision, but it is the right one for me, my wife Kelly and our two young girls.” A fourth-round pick in 2011, Boling has been a fixture at left guard for the Bengals since his sophomore season. With first-rounder Jonah Williams out for the season and Boling retired, the Bengals have a big hole at left guard.

Bengals rookie RG Clint Boling was benched after one series in Sunday’s loss to San Francisco.

The Bengals’ opening drive was actually one of their better ones of the day, with Cedric Benson breaking three runs of four yards or longer to the right side. Boling was replaced by Mike McGlynn. A fourth-round pick, Boling was starting his third straight game in place of suspended Bobbie Williams. He could be shifted back to his natural position of tackle once Williams returns in Week 5.
