Eifert says he'll be back! - Daddy-O - 10-02-2018
Just hope it's in stripes! At some point karma has to turn in his favor - and the Bengals too...

I heard on the radio last night that the surgery went well.

Anyone know what the surgery involved? Bones? Ligaments? Both?

It involved moving his ankle from a 90 degree angle to a straight line.

To clear it’s still 90% for from his shin only now it’s also running perpendicular to the front of the shin rather than 90% off of it.

I really hope he retires as a player to be honest. He and we have suffer a plenty with his injuries, as much as I'll miss him.

Not 100% sure but heard a doctor quoted it was similar to the Odell Beckam injury last year. According to the doctor it is an injury you can come back from. But who really knows, I'm sure all injuries are unique in their own way.

I want to hire you as my Dr if I break my ankle!!

Wish him luck and will support whatever decision he makes about continuing to play or retiring.
RE: Eifert says he'll be back! - Benton - 10-02-2018
Wish him the best. Maybe he should check into coaching.
RE: Eifert says he'll be back! - thillan - 10-02-2018
Crazy for him. I'm happy that he's already made his decision. Tough dude.
I understand too. This one wasn't due to his body failing him or anything like that.. he wants a fair shot. Talented dude, hope we can get a healthy season from him.

Guy is mentally tough. Plus he came up with the best celebration ever Sunday. God speed Tyler
RE: Eifert says he'll be back! - Nately120 - 10-02-2018
I fully believe he will be back in time to make the 2019 IR list.

Stuff heals stronger than it was before it was broken. Maybe he'll eventually be super-durable.
People used to say Matt Stafford was made of glass. He got past it.
RE: Eifert says he'll be back! - reuben.ahmed - 10-02-2018
That is true. Usually scar tissue is stronger than the bone itself! But, you usually get a little more limited movement. Only have one life to live, have to do your best.

I wish him all the luck in the world.
RE: Eifert says he'll be back! - Brimey - 10-02-2018
Bring him back on a similar deal. The guy makes the offense nearly unstoppable when he is healthy. While he's rehabbing his ankle his back will have more time to heal as well. 8 games from Eifert is a huge deal. Unfortunately we only got 3.5 this year
