That works, too.

Everything I’ve seen is that he wants to go to the Jets (because Rogers).

All in Sunday: Hendrickson, Hill, Murphy AND Jackson will all play against Baltimore, per Zac. Rankins and Hilton are not officially out but they’re out. Morrison is betting Guy get waived to make room for Jackson, which make sense but I’m not sure I wouldn’t dump Tufele instead. https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/cincinnati-bengals-will-have-4-of-their-5-injured-defensive-linemen-available-against-the-baltimore-ravens-01j9c435ctpx

Confirmed. Three year deal with a club option for a fourth. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/41597289/cincinnati-reds-hiring-terry-francona-manager-sources-say

Yeah, was not expecting that. Hope he's up to it health-wise. Having a guy with a proven track record can't hurt.

They are allegedly fighting each other.

Today in news I post that will annoy Army. https://www.si.com/nfl/steelers/news/pittsburgh-steelers-james-harrison-announces-fight-bengals-chad-johnson

There’s no comparison. For one thing, Jackson has far more experience and production. Shelvin only played in 21 games over four years in college; Jackson has 40 games under his belt. His production is higher as well (7.5 sacks v 1.5 for example). I don’t know if he’s a savior but he’s better than Shelvin.

That’s my expectation as well.

F**k. We're hosed. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/priscos-week-5-nfl-picks-bengals-upset-ravens-in-key-afc-north-battle-bills-win-shootout-vs-texans/

Hendrickson day-to-day per Zac. Re Murphy/Jackson Zac "wants to see how they look in practice" before deciding whether to activate them (they are both on a 3 week roster exemption). I'd say that's a pretty good sign they are both healthy, so just a comfort level issue. Even without his bro's tweet I would be surprised not to see Murphy out there Sunday, especially with Hendrickson dinged up.

As expected, Murphy and Jackson cleared to practice. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2024/10/2/24260343/myles-murphy-mckinnley-jackson-injury-bengals

Sadly I’m not sure Carl Plowed wouldn’t be an upgrade right now.

I pretty much agree with Sheeran here: https://atozsports.com/nfl/cincinnati-bengals-news/lou-anarumo-starting-vonn-bell-over-jordan-battle-safety/ The deal is that Lou couldn’t re-sign Bell fast enough, then stuffed Battle in a hole and handed Bell the starting job, and four weeks in those decisions have landed enough egg on his face to change his name to Omletrumo. Hopefully it doesn’t take him too much longer to face reality.

Cowboys snatch KJ Henry from the PS.

Great column from Rick Reilly today. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/01/pete-rose-baseball-great-dead/

He seems to be on Lou’s shit list for dogging it in camp or something. I say screw that, get him on the field.

Hobs:

Robbins waived.

First 20 minutes on Pete are really good.

Hendrickson: stinger, tests show no nerve damage, Zac noncommittal today about Baltimore but if there are no setbacks this week I would expect him to go. Hill/Rankins: no change, Hill still ahead. BJ did warm up with the team in Carolina but ultimately couldn’t go. I’d say a coin flip for Baltimore. Myles/Jackson: both likely to come off IR this week.
