CINCINNATI — Former Bengals first round pick Billy Price will start at center for the Giants on Thursday night against the Washington Football Team according to Kim Jones of NFL Network.

Cincinnati traded Price to New York in exchange for B.J. Hill and a seventh-round pick earlier this month. Hill had two sacks for the Bengals in his debut.

Price was a disappointment during his three years in Cincinnati. The Ohio State product appeared in 42 games and made 19 starts. With Trey Hopkins starting at center, the Bengals felt comfortable trading him.

Price has a shot to rejuvenate his career for the Giants starting tonight. He'll have to deal with a tough Washington defensive front that finished 7th in the NFL last season with 47 sacks.
