Sprained ankle for Fisher. No word on how severe. Was in a boot after the game.

Hobson estimates two to four weeks, so if we're lucky he should be ready to go in 2018.

If it was serious enough for an x-ray, that is a bad sign. <sigh>

Looking forward to Winston and CedOg platooning at RT ... NOT

If it truly is "just" a sprained ankle, it will be ok sooner rather than later.
I heard them talking about the Achilles during the game.

THAT is my bigger concern.  If I recall, you have to wait for swelling to go down to determine severity.
Not saying it's that, just what I was hearing during the broadcast.

Thank goodness.  Now we can chalk up at least one red zone incompletion and feel comfortable in the knowledge that the game plan doesn't have to be scrapped.

Also reports today that Eifert was going to "try" jogging for the first time. So there's that. Also Dennard was apparently not wearing a boot for the first time today.

Just saw some video of Big Ben throwing in practice, he is back to being overweight.  It is my guess that this is the main reason he has yet to see any play time during the preseason.  He is in the shape he was a few years ago when he was hurt every other week.

Delicious.  He's not everything to that team, but he's close.

So Burfict's hurt.

Not seriously, apparently, but still, this crap can stop now.

Eifert hoping for week 4.

New practice strategy: all players to wear those inflatable sumo outfits during practice, and hands will be wrapped with body pillows

Speaking of Eifert, I found a post of his on the internet. You know anything to do with the Bengals and an F-15 I'm gonna re-post here.

 

[HoosierCat]

Eifert is more of an F-35. Looks real cool and has awesome theoretical capabilities but something else breaks every time it's turned on.

That sucks.

[kingwilly]

Begs the question of if you need a 4th rb, or maybe carry 6 WR?
