The Bengals put tackle Cedric Ogbeuhi on IR on Friday, leaving them with just seven healthy offensive lineman, one of which is rookie fifth-round Christian Westerman who has never played a snap.
Hopkins is a second-year player who also has yet to get into a game, but he’s been with the team since signing as an undrafted free agent in 2014. He suffered a season-ending leg injury in the 2014 preseason and spent all of 2015 on the practice squad.
