Bengals' Tyler Eifert will have ankle surgery this week, as @JimOwczarski reported. Start of 2016 season for Eifert in jeopardy, per source.

3 month recovery doesn't sound like "minimal" surgery procedure.

There is 3 months recovery to get to walking around and 3 months to be able to play football. He will probably be walking in 6-8 weeks. My guess is to get football clearance why there is such a long lay off. Either way, a bit concerned about not being available week 1.
