Yeah, saw something about that a bit ago. The Bengals were "optimistic" that it was "just" a meniscus problem... and it turns out that his season is over.

This is why nobody can trust the Bengals on medical issues. The last two meniscus surgeries they've had, both ended their seasons. Burfict was out for over 12 months, and now Billings is already out for the season and the preseason has barely started. Eifert's "bone bruise" turned out to keep him out for 8+ months, Dalton's hand hopefully being ready for the postseason, etc.

I generally go by the rule that whatever Marvin/Hobspin say, just know they're downplaying it and it's worse.
