When the Cincinnati Bengals took the practice field Thursday, one noticeable absence was that of second-round offensive lineman Jackson Carman.
Carman is in the thick of the battle with Cordell Volson for the starting left guard position, so many eyes have been on him so far this preseason.
Unfortunately for Carman, he is facing another setback.
Bengals OL Jackson Carman tested positive for COVID-19, Zac Taylor said.

With essentially all COVID-19 protocols gone from the NFL, this shouldn’t be an issue for any players who were around Carman at practice, meetings or in the locker room.
