Anyone have any updated information on the severity of their injuries?

Take this for what it's worth.

Yeah, I know that it's Cincy Jungle, but it's the best thing I could find in a hurry.

Heard on the post game show that MJ's injury is a bone bruise. Isn't expected to miss any time. But we've heard that before with 'bone bruises'.

Hoping for a healthy Tazmanian Devil suited up for the stoolers game in the ketchup field.

Hobson's Quick Hits article indicated they both had sprains

Yerp.  I'm personally not expecting to see him on the field for a while, and if we do, I don't know that he'll be very effective.

Nice thing about the fast start is that there is zero reason to rush him.

Thanks for the update gents....I was pretty concerned with Vinnie being carted off.  I didn't realize he returned to the sidelines.  MJ being helped off didn't look good either.  This all sounds encouraging.

They can take their time with Tez. They are going to make sure he's fresh and ready for the stretch run to SB 50.

Burfcit isn't playing this year.

Calling it now.

[The Caped Crusader]

Bye week will help everyone. Be nice to see Burfict back but I have a wavering feeling he won't be.

[*Wyche'sWarrior*]

Yup....good time for the bye.  It's nice having your bye around the middle of the season.  Very early byes suck.

I wouldn't go that far... There's still a lot of football left to play, and we could see him later. He hasn't even practiced yet so we don't know yet.

Maulauga/Hawk/Dawson is serviceable in the interim. Plus Chris Carter is lurking, and if he's as hungry now as he was in the preseason....

Carter had a few snaps at DE after MJ went down. Couldn't really tell how well he played because the Bengals Dline was being held the ENTIRE game. I do know he was right there on the Dunlap sack.

It did indeed seem to me that he did bring alot of pressure that last series!

Just curious, but why do you say this?  All indications are that he has been working out and is recovering as expected.

Why do you think he will not play this year?

You guys may be right, but I am really surprised that so many people are being so negative.

Remember when Whitworth missed the entire pre-season in 2013 and then played every regular season game having one of the best seasons of his career?
