I realize other teams have injuries throughout the season, but to me it seems the Bengals always have more than usual. Do we have a conditioning program, or do the scouts look at past injuries of who we draft? I may be wrong on this but it just seems a bad omen to me!  

Every team has injuries. Some handle them better than others. Some have players capable of stepping in at particular positions, some don't. Some estimate the extent of injuries fairly well while others don't.

The Bengals really don't seem to estimate the extent of injuries all that well. Marvin Jones, Eifert, AJ Green (last year), Thompson (went from PuP list to IR), Ogbuehi from the draft and last season. Now Ogbuehi has another injury. We'll probably kid ourselves and not bother bringing in another tackle. I'm expecting Og to play out his contract and finish it as one of the worst tackles in team history and all I have to say about it is, "f--- Mike Brown." You know it's he who is calling the shots on this guy. It just has Mikey written all over it the way it's been handled.

Bengals bring in on themselves.
