Wins starting job
Volson has won the Bengals' starting left guard job to begin the season, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports. "He ascended the whole training camp period. He played well, practiced well," said offensive coordinator Brian Callahan. "He continually got better. He showed the things we want to see from a starting guard for us. He's tough, he's physical, he's dependable...He's earned that job."
ANALYSIS
Volson was the Bengals' fourth-round pick in this year's draft, and he beat out last year's starter and second-round pick Jackson Carman for the job. The Steelers will almost certainly test him early in Week 1 as a potential weak point in the pass protection scheme for Joe Burrow.

Competing for starting gig
Volson is competing for the Bengals' starting left guard spot, James Rapien of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-rounder out of North Dakota State appears to be quickly impressing at rookie minicamp. Though the 6-foot-6, 315-pound lineman may not be the favorite to start at left guard Week 1, Cincinnati is certainly incentivized to look for improvement at the position after Jackson Carman, Hakeem Adeniji and D'Ante Smith struggled last season. One hurdle, however, could be the fact that Volson played tackle in college, and he will now have to adjust to new positional intricacies.
