Punter Drue Chrisman was absent from camp today. According to Zac he had some sort of medical issue that landed him in the hospital this morning.

Hope it is nothing serious...he's a good guy

Appendicitis, I think. It's going around. We get one case per year. It's debilitating, infuriating and exasperating, but also a rite of passage for this team.

Well then I would think the Michigan guy is more of a lock. No way Drue is competing if he had to have an appendectomy.

Good point. But historically speaking (at least over the past year), Bengals with appendectomies have all made the 53-man cut. Not saying... just saying.

Hope it's nothing serious.

Appendicitis doesn't, "go around."

(I do get what you're saying, but that's medically innacurate)

I think it was a joke.

Man I hope he’s ok. No one should get hurt right now.

He's not going to be punting for us anyway....

Drue suffered a medical emergency while at the facility on Wed. He is now at home, resting, and will be undergoing more testing

That's a pretty decent size gash on his forehead and there's blood on the pillow.  Hopefully he didn't pass out and hit his head.

I think he got into a fight with a buck-tooth barracuda!

Drue returned to the team yesterday but won't practice before next week. He apparently passed out in the training room and received that scrape on his head when he fell. He didn't say specifically what happened but he said he was dealing with something he has had since childhood. He underwent some sort of "procedure" and they have ruled out "all the scary stuff"

He did expressed thankfulness that it happened at the facility and not while he was on his bike in downtown Cincinnati

If they ruled out the scary stuff I’d guess WPW and his procedure as an ablation.
