The Cincinnati Bengals have improved a lot on defense over the last few games, and a big reason is their defensive end room rising to the occasion in the absence of superstar Trey Hendrickson.
Although I contend that the DJ Turner-led secondary deserves a lot of credit, there's no question the men in the trenches have stepped up. In addition to veteran Joseph Ossai, though, another disappointing Bengal is making the most of his opportunities of late.
Beyond what happened in Thanksgiving's 32-14 road victory over the Ravens, this other player's steady improvement could open up all kinds of roster-building possibilities in the future.
