Ced Og- Injured toe; may not be ready for Game 1
Cody Core- Dislocated finger; probably plays Preseason Game 2
Alford- sprained ankle in a walking boot; No set return out maybe a few weeks
Burkhead- missed Preson Game 1; not sure why
Jeremy Hill- pulled out of PG1 due to hand injury; not sure if he plays PG2
Lafell- didn't play PG1 but not sure injury has been revealed
Billings- torn meniscus ; maybe out for season
WJ3- torn pec; maybe out for season
Old injuries guys are still recovering from:
Eifert, Kroft, Dennard, Kumerow
Okay, let me make a list of guys who aren't i jured for you.
Carlos Dunlap, Geno Atkins, Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, Adam Jones, Gio Bernard, George Iloka, Kevin Zeitler.
The only important pieces I'd say we're missing right now will be Eifert and Burfict. I think Hill is fine and most of the other injuries just aren't that significant right now.
So I'd say right now we have 9 of our top 12 players available right now (if you include Hill, that's 10), which is saying a lot considering how good our top 12 are versus the top 12 players of most other teams.
So if you look at it that way, I'd say we're actually quite healthy.
