They were just having him try to play through it. When he got the elbow injury, they just went ahead and did both the elbow and the shoulder.

"The Bengals tight end tore the labrum in his left shoulder during off-season workouts last year, but decided to play through the injury. He dislocated his right elbow during the season opener, effectively ending his year."
People forget about the shoulder because it didn't happen during a game, and then the elbow injury took all the attention. Now a foot injury in a game where people aren't really tackling. It really is adding up to a worrying picture of how reliably healthy he can stay.
Yeah, like I said it does concern me for these reasons but not too bad at this point. Anyone that watched that game could see no one was even tackling. Defensive players were playing offense and vise versa.
