Zac Taylor Comments on Andrew Whitworth Speculation Following La'el Collins' Injury

Cincinnati is 11-4 and has won seven-straight games.

CINCINNATI — There's been plenty of speculation about Andrew Whitworth coming out of retirement to join the Bengals following La'el Collins' season-ending ACL injury. 

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor was asked about Whitworth on Tuesday. 

"We got good people in the building that we trust," Taylor said bluntly. 

Hakeem Adeniji is expected to start at right tackle with Collins out. The 25-year-old is in his third season. He's appeared in 38 career games. 

"I think our scouting department does a great job of always evaluating our options," Taylor said. "But again, we've got guys that we've had in here, developing, working in our system that we've got a high degree of trust in that can help us do the things that we need to do this year."

It doesn't sound like Whitworth will be joining the Bengals for their playoff run, but what a story it would be if he did return to Cincinnati
