Bad news for Price. 2018 season in jeopardy.

Just learned that Billy Price injured himself during bench press training. Of course, this would happen to a player the Bengals need.

We could possibly get him at a bargain then.

Doesn't help our 2018 though :\

How bad??? What was it a pec or a shoulder injury?

Apparently it is a pectoral tear which is typically a 4 to 6 month injury so he could be play again this year. I don't think it hurts his draft stock as much as people would think.

Tough break for the kid.

Hoping so, a pec tear hurts like heck and does not heal for about 6 months but is not real serious in longterm.  

They are no fun at all though.

Injured guy, sure to start the season on the PuP list, unlikely to contribute in his rookie year = sure Bengals selection.

I doubt he'd have been available at #12 in the second round, so maybe now the Bengals will have chance to select a center that is a legit NFL starter.

We know Mikey doesn't shy away from drafting guys with late injuries.

So that would put him at September /October range for playing?

If he's gonna miss 2018 that means we're pretty much guaranteed to draft him with our 1st round pick then

Seriously though, he'll be a good lineman and recover. Stinks he'll probably make a lot less money on his rookie contract now though.

I wanted to use our 2nd and 4th and trade up to get him. Now that shouldnt be necessary. I still say we take him with our 2nd

I can see it now...
Bengals can now wait to take Price in Rd 2 or maybe even Rd 3 and re-sign Bodine because Price won't be available likely for at least the first six weeks. Then in 2019 Price and Bodine battle it out for the starter role.

A pectoral tear seems like it'd be pretty serious for someone who makes contact with 300 lb players on almost every play.

I like Price.

Just not sure about this for immediate impact.

It’s 6 months to heal and rehab, not sure he’d be playing right after that as a rookie who misses the entire offseason. Best bet is spending half the season on PUP.

I was thinking the samething.

You don't think he will be a good center in the NFL? 

Incomplete tear, very minor. Will definitely be ready by training camp.

Sure sounds like a safe prediction. I honestly would not be against it though, just would rather have a Center like
Ragnow or Daniels who are not injured and would participate in OTA's and Training Camp to get up to speed quick.

If this is true all still for Price in the 2nd...

Since this was weightlifting at the combine is he eligible for the non football injury list?
