Coming off a 2012 season in which he played just one game with the Carolina Panthers due to a shoulder injury, the 29-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Bengals and proceeded to see extended playing time as a result of injuries to multiple players on the team's offensive line.
Pollak started five games last season, playing both guard positions on a line that allowed the third-lowest number of sacks in the league (29).
