He gets PUP'ed, they are mum about it until week 1, and we don't see him until week 7 or 8.
Bengals TE Tyler Eifert showed reporters the scar from his offseason ankle surgery, and it was on the inside of his ankle. According to Football Guys' Jene Bramel, a pediatrician and high school team physician, that means Eifert's injury was to the deltoid ligament. "The ligament that I tore, it’s hard to tear, so kind of a freak thing," Eifert admitted. The surgery generally comes with a 5-6 month recovery timetable. Eifert's happened on May 25, so the short end of that timeline would have him out until late October. That could cost him 7 games. Eifert's timeline could be different, of course, and we can't know for sure when he'll be back. But there's obviously more risk than we initially believed. We just bumped Eifert down our TE rankings. - See more at: http://www.draftsharks.com/shark-bites/40941/eifert-out-until-october#sthash.LbvNSK8n.dpuf
Obviously this is a fantasy slant, but I would be shocked if the Bengals don't take it slow.
