CINCINNATI -- The Bengals will be without a starting offensive lineman for multiple games.
Right guard Lucas Patrick will be out for at least one week because of a calf injury he sustained in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. Bengals coach Zac Taylor said the team will evaluate its options while Patrick recovers.
"We'll make some decisions there," Taylor said.
Dalton Risner, who signed with the Bengals on Aug. 28 and had just two padded practices entering the season opener, finished the game at right guard. Risner was a free agent throughout the offseason but because a serious option to join the Bengals after veteran Cordell Volson suffered a shoulder injury in training camp.
