The Cincinnati Bengals signed free agent defensive lineman Lawrence Guy on Tuesday while seeking help on the interior after a rash of injuries.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the news.
Guy, 34, is a former Super Bowl champion and immediate depth who can come in and help the rotation alongside Jay Tufele and Zach Carter. He’s started 122 games since 2012 with 500-plus tackles.
At the time of Guy’s signing, it’s unknown whether the team will have both B.J. Hill and Sheldon Rankins back for Week 3 after the starters left the loss to Kansas City with hamstring injuries.
The Bengals had initially planned for rookies McKinnley Jackson and Kris Jenkins Jr. to play big depth roles, but the former is on injured reserve and the latter is healing after a minor hand operation.
