And this isn't the first offense either. Lewis played an injured Jeremy Hill over a healthy Rex Burkhead 2 years ago.
The only defense I can see to this is that "but Zo, we have a great receiver corps this year!"
No we don't. We have a bunch of unprovens that have shown flashes in preseason.
Due to injuries I still consider Ross a rookie getting his first NFL reps in. Ross has yet to really play an NFL season, so I throw him into the too early to tell list. We have AJ Green. I still look to Boyd who caught last Bengals TD pass to beat Baltimore in last seconds end of season. A return of Eifert would help, but if not, Kroft was not a bad NFL TE last year. Hopefully it all doesn't fall on Ross, who I consider still a rookie since he really hasn't played an NFL season yet due to injuries. We could say Bengal have had problems drafting top pick players who were too injured to play their first season. I think in this list are Kirkptrick, Dennard, AJ3, Ogbuehi, Ross who were too injured to do anything their rookie year.
