Tyler Eifert has cleared concussion protocol and participated in practice, but it's still not known if he'll play Sunday.

Andy put in some time on the side, doing dropback drills and some rehab work.

AJ McCarron also practiced, but Ryan Hewitt did not.

Great news that Eifert cleared concussion protocol.. will be Bengals decision on if he plays or how much on Sunday now...

All great news.

Sure hope they are practicing zone defenses w AJ.

Great thread

Right and make the other AJ run laps for stopping on his routes.

Glad Eifert is back although I'd keep him limited in this game. If Kroft is looking good, then I'd pull Eifert and make sure he's ready for the playoffs.

Wenning is jumping for joy....

I'd put them both in at the same time because having two tight ends on the field at the same time would make McCarron's life a lot easier.  

The Ravens have been good at covering tight ends and bad at covering receivers, but I'd like to see what Eifert and Kroft on the field at the same time would be like because, given how good Kroft has looked, I think we could have something special.

I'd put Eifert in now, does AJM and Eifert have any rapport in game? Not good to keep Eifert that long and force AJM to find rapport in a playoff game.

If you're saving Eifert, you agree, the dude is brittle then...

Any news on Hewitt? How long or extent of injury? I think his presents was missed !!

For Christmas???

He didn't practice because of illness, but Lewis stated he didn't expect him to miss time because of his knee.

I'm still of the opinion that the QB screwed up and it was essentially a scramble drill at that point.

If you saw Green's eyes during the replay when he started to run again, there looked to be absolute shock that he still had the ball.  This lead me to believe that the play was designed to run to the strong side of the field and, for whatever reason, the QB didn't release the ball.

Stop making excuses for Green's poor play. He gave up on that route and many others throughout the years. Yes, he may go down as the Bengals GOAT WRs but his inconsistency on the field is evident.

When has he given up on routes?

As far as the route in question, it looked like he was going to stop and go across the field or something and was just a miscommunication.

I have seen a lot more awesome catches by AJ not few others could have made over a few mistakes on routes... 

He is on pace to be a Hall of Famer and if he stays healthy he will be a HOF

So much this. And for not blocking downfield when other receivers catch balls.

My feeling is, finish the damn route! Even if it's just to draw defenders down the field.
