Su'a-Filo

Su’a-Filo missed the last two weeks and was already ruled out for Week 5. He’ll be sidelined for the next three games before he’s eligible to return. The Bengals activated FS Ricardo Allen from IR in a corresponding move.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Su’a-Filo was day-to-day last week, but he didn’t suit up in Week 3 against the Steelers. His Week 4 status appears to be in doubt too after he didn’t practice on Tuesday. Second-round rookie guard Jackson Carman will start in his place once again if Su’a-Filo isn’t healthy for Thursday Night Football.

Taylor also noted that he is “confident” in Jackson Carman if the second-round rookie is called to action. Su’a-Filo was one of the additions that the Bengals made this offseason to strengthen their subpar offensive line. So far, Joe Burrow has taken nine sacks through two games, far from the turnaround Cincinnati fans were hoping for. The Bengals face the Steelers in Week 3, a dreaded matchup for a team possibly giving a rookie his first career start. Expect Burrow to be under duress for a full four quarters this week.

Su’a-Filo has over 50 games of starting experience, but it is unclear if he will slot in as a starter or the Bengals’ top reserve interior lineman. 2019 will be Su’a-Filo’s age-29 campaign. Su’a-Filo suffered a broken leg last Week 16 for the Cowboys but should be ready for the Bengals’ offseason program.

Su’a-Filo could not finish the game and was replaced by Joe Looney. Starting since Week 11, Su’a-Filo has been a liability, but it is still bad that the Cowboys have to dip further into their depth.

Su’a-Filo sat out the Wild Card win with an ankle injury, and he is not starting this week on the right foot. Rookie Connor Williams got the start at left guard with Su’a-Filo out last week.

Su’a-Filo is week to week. Connor Williams is filling in.

Connor Williams will fill in opposite Zack Martin. It’s not ideal for depth purposes, but Su’a-Filo was extremely ineffective down the stretch.

Dallas’ starter at left guard over the back-half of the season, Su’a-Filo went down with an ankle injury in the season finale and has not practiced at all this week. It would be a shock if he is ready to go for the Wild Card round. With RG Zack Martin expected back, Connor Williams will likely move back to the left side.
