Cappa, a right guard, had 1 penalty and allowed 5 sacks in 2021 after allowing 0 in 2020. Karras, a C/G, had 2 penalties and allowed 3 sacks in 2021.

Interesting note is that the Bengals used 3 right guards last season with Xavier Su’a-Filo (124 snaps), Jackson Carman (462 snaps), and Hakeem Adeniji (555 snaps) for a combined 8 penalties and 3 sacks allowed.
