When they first said he would miss the opener I figured he would miss 2 or 3 games. Now they say he is a "few weeks away" I am guessing he will be back for game 5 (Oct 9 at Dal). That is still 2 games quicker than we could have gotten him off of PUP.
I am really concerned by Eifert. When he is healthy he is one of the best TEs in the league. His numbers are a little lower than some other elite TEs because the Bengals had such good WRs, but Eifert is as skilled as any of the elite TEs. But he is fragile. Doesn't mean he is soft, just for some reason some players are more injury prone than others.
I still cannot concede that Eifert is injury prone, all of his injuries seem to be accidental...
The broken arm, the concussion by Mike Mitchell and now this Probowl ankle injury.
Gronk has missed tons of games as well and nobody calls him injury prone.
