Andrew Whitworth is Prepared to Play Beyond This Season

The former Bengals great plans on returning in 2022.

CINCINNATI — Former Bengals left tackle and current Rams star Andrew Whitworth is still playing at a high level. 

The two-time All-Pro turns 40-years-old on Sunday. He'll become the first 40-year-old to start at left tackle in NFL history and he plans on playing beyond this season.

“To me, the only way that I would retire is there’d have to be a situation where either financially the Rams can’t afford me or there’s just some way where it doesn’t work out for the both of us for me to be back,” Whitworth told ESPN's Lindsey Thiry. “So that would really be the only scenario where I would ever really see me retiring.”

Whitworth has earned an 82.4 overall grade from Pro Football Focus this season, allowing just two sacks in 679 snaps. 

He is still held in high regard by Bengals fans after spending the first 11 seasons of his NFL career in Cincinnati. He signed with the Rams in 2016.
