Quinton Spain being signed by the Cincinnati Bengals last week came as no surprise. What was surprising was that he not only played in Sunday’s game, but that he nearly played the entire game.
The plan for Spain was that he would be active and dressed as the team’s eighth offensive lineman as an emergency backup. That plan changed when Michael Jordan was declared out with an illness.
From that moment, Spain was going into the game no matter what, at least that’s what offensive coordinator Brian Callahan told Geoff Hobson of Bengals.
