I find it interesting that Matheui still hasn't cleared protocol after practicing in full the past couple days. I'm starting to wonder if he plays or not...

I don't get how he's practicing if he hasn't cleared the protocol.

Are NFL practices no contact now?

I know they're lighter compared to what they used to be, but I figured they still had a little bit of contact........

Yeah, I mean even risking bumping into someone or hitting the ground when diving for a ball seems like reason enough not to practice if he's still in the protocol...... 

Hendrickson cleared protocol completely on Friday before Saturday's game. Mathieu probably just needs to get the ok from the independent neurologist tomorrow

Interesting that Tyrann Matthieu has not been activated yet. I expected it yesterday. It likely will still happen before game time but I wonder if it is gamesmanship or if Matthieu didn’t pass the exam with the neurologist yesterday

^Something’s gotta be holding this up!

Either way it is still gamesmanship waiting until last minute to announce and making the Bengals plan for either way.

I don’t think him playing or not will change the game plan one iota. It just might mean JoeyB doesn’t have to check down as much

Part of clearing protocol is to get through a full practice with no symptoms. My guess is he had symptoms after the 1st practice, so he had to try again. I doubt he plays.

The really encouraging thing is when his wife told him the Bengals called and wanted him, his response was he would love to be a Bengal next year. Then she told him they meant this week. Shows that he too, wants to play here and didn't come just to get a game check. I expect he will put forth full effort on the chance he might get signed here for next year.

Fair enough but I still call it a tad bit of gamesmanship

He’s playing

Argggg
