HoosierCat Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 And the 2014 injury train starts to roll...Per Hobs he had a pin put in. Likely out until after the bye, could be a candidate for PUP or the IR/return thingie.Well, that sucks. OTOH more balls for Eifert.ETA: Hobson tweets:Geoff Hobson @GeoffHobsonCin · 10mLewis says it will be a few weeks for Jones. Similar injury knocked Sanu out of last month of 12 seasonGeoff Hobson @GeoffHobsonCin · 13mNow the question is if they put him on IR return 8 games into season, PUP him for first 6 or maybe back soonerGeoff Hobson @GeoffHobsonCin · 15mA Pin has been put in fifth metatarsalGeoff Hobson @GeoffHobsonCin · 16mMarvin jones out a few weeks with foot injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volcom69 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Well that blows! They say between 4-6 weeks, so guess we will see. Not sure if they will do anything with him or just let him ride and hope he is ready for like game 3 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Plenty of time to figure it out. If it's really 2-3 weeks, no issue.The early bye week helps in this particular situation.If it's going to be longer, then we will see.

COB Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Fifth metatarsal. Jones was a stud last year, now Sanu has to regain the form he showed in '12. Still, he's not Marvin Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyline Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Certainly not good news regarding Jones, but he's always been fragile so I expect we'll have some stretch without him each year.Thankfully, we now have the depth to get past it. Especially if Eifert evolves this year into the TE the weapon we expect him to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishbengal Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Thankfully, we now have the depth to get past it. If we all expect a more run centred game then losing a WR for a few early weeks may not hurt us so bad when you consider what options we have behind AJ Green.Cobi Hamilton, Mo Sanu, Ryan Whalen, Dane Sanzenbacher, even Brandon Tate .... plus some of the other WR's have a chance to show their worth.Eifert, Gresham, Smith, Brock - as TE's there's another option for moving the ball forwaard.

HoosierCat Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Per Hobson, the Bengals are hopeful Jones will miss only the first three games.Replacing him for those games might be tricky. They have good depth between WR and TE but a lot of those guys are best suited to the slot. The two guys with speed are Cobi Hamilton and James Wright. So there is a big opportunity here for whoever can step up.Cobi didn't get any love last week while Wright had 2 catches for 20 yards and a TD. Interesting matchup to watch.
