Wins starting job
Volson has won the Bengals' starting left guard job to begin the season, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports. "He ascended the whole training camp period. He played well, practiced well," said offensive coordinator Brian Callahan. "He continually got better. He showed the things we want to see from a starting guard for us. He's tough, he's physical, he's dependable...He's earned that job."
ANALYSIS
Volson was the Bengals' fourth-round pick in this year's draft, and he beat out last year's starter and second-round pick Jackson Carman for the job. The Steelers will almost certainly test him early in Week 1 as a potential weak point in the pass protection scheme for Joe Burrow.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Cut candidate
Volson's roster spot could be in jeopardy after the Bengals drafted Georgia product Dylan Fairchild in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Ben Baby of ESPN suggests.
ANALYSIS
Volson has been a significant contributor along the Bengals' offensive line since he was selected by the team in the 2022 NFL Draft. He's currently penciled in as the team's starting left guard, but Fairchild could push him for his role. Baby suggests that Cincinnati could opt to part ways with Volson to save cap space, which they need to accommodate a Trey Hendrickson extension.
