Zach Moss says he was injured in game 1 last season, but after the Eagles game, he lost feeling in his arm and some fingers. The CT revealed he broke c-6 in 3 different places. Until the Eagles game, the only symptom he had was a sore neck, which he received treatment and chiropractic care for
The prescription was minimal movement for several months while wearing a neck brace. He mentioned that he heard very little from the team during his recovery...not even check-ins to see how he was doing
After months of sitting, he is on the NFI list for conditioning reasons. But he is also fighting some inner demons between balancing the desire to play and the desire to be there for his young family after such a scary injury
He sounds like he almost wants the team to decide for him. I don't think we will see him on the field this year. IR or cut will be his outcome. If he is cut, he ultimately retires. I'm leaning towards IR since his salary hit on the cap is the same.
This is upsetting in a couple different ways.
First, for Moss. That sucks for his career.
Second, it sucks that the Bengals didn't check in on him. That is so bush league. But about what I expectcfrom this organization.
But most importantly, how the fkcu do you not give the guy with the sore neck an X-ray? For weeks? WTF?
