Noooooooooo.

Here's a speedy and full recovery for him.

Now we just play for draft status

Well at least we will finally be able to use Jeremy Hill for the outside runs where he really shines.

Sucks. But Marvin has been planning. You thought he just didnt know how to utilize personnel. Ha. He was really just resting Burkhead for this very reason.

What an absolutely terrible day to be a Bengals fan.

Not good.  Hope Gio is able to completely recover.  I also look forward to seeing them hand the ball to Burkhead.

Not a medical person at all, but I think it depends on the severity of the tear. If it is bad enough, he could easily lose a chunk of next season.

Well, the nails are in the coffin for this season. Marvin needs to go now.

Regular medical staff? Absolutely

Bengals medical staff? We will check on it when training camp rolls around. If he needs surgery we will do it then.

[JumboTron]

That. Sux.

Looks like Rexasaurus will get fed a bit down the stretch.

Lol...They'll probably wait 6 months to see if he can regenerate a new ACL like Wolverine then have the surgery that was necessary all along. Am I right, Eifert?

Bengals lost 45% of their targets for the year with Green and Gio out.......Yikes!

Boyd/Core/Ericson 2k16!

The injuries to A.J. and Gio coupled with Eifert missing time at the beginning of the season will be Mike Brown's excuse to bring Marvin back.

This may also mean that Lewis is gonna activate Peerman over WJIII, thus essentially wasting yet another 1st round pick.

[Atomic Orange]

How/when did this even happen?

[Shake n Blake]

I wish him well and I really hope this doesn't hurt him long term. That said, Gio was having a pretty bad year, IMO. I'm sure I'll get flamed for saying it, but he was bringing next to nothing as a runner, and wasn't making huge plays as a receiver, either. Obviously he's a big check down option, so it's still a loss. I'm interested to see what Burkhead can do in an expanded role though.

So it's a wasted pick because he won't play in some meaningless games at the end of the season? Strange logic.
