Boling said Tuesday that he retired due to a medical condition stemming from a blood clot in his right leg, Geoff Hobson of the team's official site reports.
Boling decided to retire from the game Monday, citing medical reasons when doing so. The medical reason he stated was actually stemming from a blood clot that developed shortly after last season ended. As for the Bengals, Christian Westerman, John Jerry and Michael Jordan likely will compete for the Week 1 start at left guard in Boling's stead.
Boling (undisclosed) is retiring from the NFL, citing medical reasons in a Monday announcement.
The 2011 fourth-round pick started 109 of his 111 career games in eight seasons with the Bengals, including all 16 contests in four of the past five seasons. Boling's retirement combined with Jonah Williams' shoulder surgery leaves Cincinnati with an open starting job at left guard. Christian Westerman, John Jerry and Michael Jordan likely will compete for the Week 1 start.
Boling (undisclosed) didn't participate in spring workouts due to an undisclosed injury, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
It's not clear what Boling is dealing with, or if he'll be ready in time for training camp. When healthy, the 30-year-old and incumbent left guard will look to defend his spot in the starting lineup.
Clint Boling was removed from Thursday's game due to a left arm injury. His return is questionable.
