Today, on Pro Football Talk, Mike Ryan, NBC Sports Medicine Analyst, talked about Tyler Eifert beginning at the 13:30 mark.

He says that Dr. Robert Anderson, an orthopedic foot and ankle specialist at OrthoCarolina in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the head of the National Football League’s Foot and Ankle Subcommittee, is doing the surgery and that he is the best ankle doctor in the country. He explains why surgery was delayed. He says Tyler will wear a boot until August and may miss a few games, but no one knows. It depends on how rehab goes.
Geoff Hobson says, “It’s believed that Anderson has consulted on the case from the get-go, starting when Eifert returned from Hawaii for a battery of tests.”

So it sounds like blaming the Bengals' medical staff is unfair.
