It could be, but in comparison to the rest of the players on our team it seems worse.

The Bengals this year are next to last in man hours missed due to injury, including the last game.

They should sit Eifert. Hate to see him injured, but it's been a blessing in disguise as we've gotten a good look at Kroft. Who has impressed. He could use the additional experience. Even CJ has been getting good reps and needs more.

Let Eifert return as our forgotten weapon for the playoffs and hope that's the spark that gets us over the hump.

I agree, he should not be out there this week. In my opinion the same should go for iloka,  as groin injuries can linger and are reaggravated easily. Get these guys 100%healthy for the postseason run.

While I can agree that it has enabled Kroft to get some quality reps, I cannot agree with sitting Tyler Eifert.  If anything, he needs to play, and be targeted a few extra times.  That chemistry with McCarron needs to be built, not to mention he'll need to shake the rust off from sitting the past two games.

George Iloka was also back at practice today.

Really need him and Eifert at 'full go' for the playoffs.

Agree. Knock some rust off, and get some 'game-conditioning' at least. And AJM definitely needs reps with Eifert.
