Cincinnati Bengals Injury Update: Latest on Lucas Patrick Following Friday's Practice

Bengals veteran offensive lineman Lucas Patrick left Friday's practice with what appeared to be a right calf injury.

Patrick was in the locker room following the session with a sleeve on his right calf. He didn't speak to reporters after practice, but it's certainly noteworthy that he left early.

The Bengals signed the veteran to compete for the starting right guard job. Patrick has experience at guard and center. He's been playing a lot of center this week with Matt Lee dealing with a minor injury.

The coaching staff is playing it safe with Lee. They moved Patrick to center with the backups. That also allowed Cody Ford to get the first crack at the starting right guard job.

If Patrick misses time, look for Ford to remain with the first team at right guard.
