Oh yeah, Chuck had one great Return I stand corrected and then did nothing the rest of the season. Also, that was great blocking on that 
return, but have to give props for Chuck's effort at the end of the return to stay in bounds.

With Charlie Jones, it isn't a matter of if he's good enough to do the job, it's if he can stay healthy enough to do it all year... (sounds similar to another, yet more costly player on the team)

Tee is really good when he plays though, sure Charlie Jones has took a Punt and a Kick to the house, but other than that he has been a 
backup that cannot even see the field as a WR. Man, I swear I have never went back and forth so much on keeping a player as Tee.

I know we have to extend Ja'Marr and he will be the highest paid WR in the NFL rightfully so as he is the best, but there is a reason Joe
has been adamantly wanting Tee back and Tee fired his agent. Injuries HAVE to be taken into account with Tee's extension no matter if 
he stays or goes.

I'm firmly in the camp that Tee is too expensive to keep around for as much time as he spends on the injured list. Charlie Jones is another story, he's basically a special teams ace, not a full time position player.

Definitely understand, I just think Joe is going to do a restructure in order to keep Tee from what we are seeing.

Missing from Practice
Kris Jenkins-sick
Tee Higgins

Orlando Brown is out there but not even rehabbing today

Alex Cappa looks to be moving along the concussion protocol

this is the worst game for brown to miss imo

Yeah, Myles Garrett looked really good against the Chiefs IMO.

Looks like he might be over that plantar fasciitis...

No he wont and even if he did it would come back to bite the team in the butt a couple of years from now..highins is an often injured rceiver.lhe has a chronic hamstring problem..no team cann afford to pay their quarterback and 2 receivers 90-100 million a year

Tee out with his quad again.

But remember, he's a "need".

Whats the diagnosis after the surgery Burton had to remove his head from his bunghole? Probably a lot of scarring there.

He's already missed 7 games this season and has only 1.0 sack to show for 7 games played.
Too little, too late in my book.
Not worth the $12 mill APY investment.
Cut the losses this offseason.
That $10.5 mill in cap saved can go a long way toward someone else in FA.

Bengals proved this year that having the top passing game in football and being 5th in scoring offense, at best, makes for a mediocre football Team.

I don't feel that running with the same crew next year, with an added $25M+ salary makes any sense.

I would like to see Chase extended and Gesicki re-signed and put in Tee's spot. Hudson and McLachlan can hold down the Flex TE role. I like Yoshi's toughness and hopefully Burton can take a positive step next year.

His knee not quad


Myles Garrett was added to the Browns report as a DNP with a back injury

Tee is back at practice.  Orlando, Kris Jenkins, and Alex Cappa all appear to be participating

JoeyB is in the huddle but Jake Browning is taking the plays

Joe and Tee are both good to go on Sunday, per Zac

We will see, I agree about Tee and his injury problems. Like I said, he cannot cost 25 mil per year with his injury history.

Has to be taken into account with whoever pays the man.

Ja'Marr having such a great year has already upped his pay to the highest of any WR and he was always the WR we were going to keep.

If it was me at QB I would be harping on the trenches myself, but I am not Joe Burrow and he is the QB for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Yeah, the Defense needs upgraded all across the board along with the IOL.

Just going off of what Joe Burrow has said. If he does a restructure and we do keep Tee, his injuries have to be taken into account and
it cannot be 25+ mil per year. Extend Ja'Marr, bring back Gesicki and upgrade the IOL and Defense and I am happy.

If we can do this while keeping Tee even better IMO.

Myles being banged up certainly helps our chances. Like I said, he looked really good in his last game.

Looks like he will play Sunday.   Njoku is questionable.  This game really scares me a lot.  On paper, it shouldn't even be close, but neither was the New England game.  For some reason, we have really struggled against these pukes the last couple years.
