Cappa (rib) was active for Saturday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Cappa returned to action for the first time during the preseason, playing 12 offensive snaps in the contest. The offensive guard appears to have moved past his rib injury, and he's all set to operate as a top reserve option with Las Vegas in 2025.

Cappa (rib) did not practice Sunday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cappa didn't play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Seahawks. Coach Pete Carroll said Sunday that it's not believed to be a long-term issue for the veteran guard, according to Tashan Reed of The Athletic. Cappa is in the mix to open the season as a starter on the interior of Las Vegas' offensive line.

Cappa agreed to a two-year, $11 million deal with the Raiders on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cappa didn't take long to find a new home after being released by the Bengals on Monday. During his three-year run in Cincinnati, Cappa started at right guard in all 50 of his appearances and drew just six total penalties. He'll be a strong candidate to open the 2025 season as a starter with Las Vegas.

The Bengals released Cappa on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran from Humboldt State has been one of Cincinnati's top offensive linemen since signing with the team in 2022, starting all 50 regular-season games he appeared in. Cappa was likely a cap casualty, as the Bengals are expected to try and retain several key free agents this offseason, including B.J. Hill, Trent Brown and Mike Hilton. The 30-year-old offensive lineman is expected to be a sought-after player on the free-agent market.

Cappa (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Cappa was diagnosed with a concussion following Cincinnati's Week 15 win over Tennessee. He was able to log a full practice Friday, and he's done enough to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols and will start at right guard in Sunday's AFC North showdown.

Head coach Zac Taylor stated Monday that Cappa entered the league's concussion protocols, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cappa feels good today, according to Taylor, but he'll still need to pass through the league's five-step protocols. If he's unable to do so, Cordell Volson may be in line to start at right guard against the Browns on Sunday.

Cappa (ankle), who missed all of Cincinnati's 2022 playoff run, was spotted practicing during the team's OTAs, Ryan Meyer of the Bengals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It looks like Cappa had enough time to recover from his ankle injury during the offseason, as he's been back on the field for OTAs. The 2018 third-round pick has been a staple at guard since entering the NFL for the Buccaneers and Bengals, appearing in 68 games during that five year span. Barring any setbacks, expect the veteran guard to continue holding down the Bengals' offensive line this upcoming year.

Cappa (ankle) said he believes that he would've been available for the Super Bowl had the Bengals defeated the Chiefs on Sunday, Andrew Gillis of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cappa ultimately didn't suit up for any of Cincinnati's three playoff games in 2023 due to the ankle injury he sustained back in Week 18. Going off of the 310-pounder's recent comments, it sounds like he'll return to full health by the start of the Bengals' offseason program.

Cappa (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs, per the team's official site.
EDGE Analysis
Cappa has yet to return to the practice field in any capacity since he suffered an ankle injury back in Week 18 versus the Ravens, and he'll ultimately remain sidelined this weekend as a result. Look for Max Scharping to draw another start at right guard against Kansas City.

Cappa (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Andrew Gillis of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cappa hasn't played in either of the Bengals' first two playoff games due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 18. He's not trending in the right direction, but he'll have two more chances to practice before the Bengals need to make a decision on his status for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against Kansas City. If he's sidelined again, Max Scharping figures to retain his spot as the starting right guard.
