How do you go from tweaking an ankle to needing surgery???

It's that Crack medical staff, done schooled at the Eas Kentucky school of Appalachian medicines and snake handling.

According to Harvey this morning Jones apparently injured his other foot overcompensating for the original injury. But who knows. He's off to see a specialist today.

I'll be very surprised if he doesn't end up on IR. Tough break.

Terrible news. This would be the final stone that sinks the ship, in my opinion. I was thinking that Eifert might open up the offense enough to spark the team, ala Gronkowski-lite.

The Bengals just don't seem to have the cohesion and health this season to make it happen. Maybe playoffs, maybe not. Who knows. 2015 might be the year that this team takes the leap. Either way, it'll still be fun to see how this season unfolds.

I will be watching it all through the end of the season regardless.

While I really wanted to see Eifert back in the mix, i'm still more concerned in getting the defense back on the healthy side of things.

Getting Burfict and dare I say Maualuga back would help a great deal. Thompson back is helpful and Geno seems to improve each game.

Zeitler healthy helps an o-line that is dinged up a bit and AJ certainly doesn't hurt.

Guys just need to step up.

Marvin confirms Eifert may not make it back this year.

So, to review, our last few first round picks...

Dennard - key special teamer. woo-hoo!

Eifert - played for 10 mins so far in 2014

Dre - key special teamer. double woo-hoo!

Green - playing on bum foot

Gresham - is Gresham

Moobs - hurt

Rivers - gone

Hall - hurt

JJoe - gone

Memo to the FO: just trade out of the first next year. You do so much better later on.

Although I would argue that Zeitler remains a quality r1 pick, yeah, it's pretty clear that the long trend of the Bengals drafting really well ended at least 3 years ago (and after last nights performances by Dalton and green, I might argue 4)

I don't think it is just round 1 either

r2

Hill

Gio

Margus

Still

r3

Clarke

Williams

Sanu

Thompson

r4

Bodine

Porter

Charles

There's a few hits in there, but more misses, imho

Moobs - hurt

Rivers - gone

Hall - hurt done - he won't ever return to even an average level of play. might as well throw Dennard out there.

JJoe - gone
