All this fuss about who gave the word, is causing everyone to miss the point that the Bengals will be without Tyler Eifert for at least a quarter of the regular season. That toothpaste ain't going back into the tube, no matter who put it out there..
Who gave the word that Eifert just had a sprain and wouldn't require surgery? Or that the surgery would be minor and he wouldn't miss time? Or that he might miss the pre-season. Or might miss week 1 at the most, or blah blah blah blah and so on.
Again, I'm a big ol pessimist but we are being pretty skeptical of the bad news and pretty accepting of the constantly-changing narrative regarding his recovery.
