Eifert's ankle injury was treated by Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte NC.  Bengals medical staff had nothing to do with it.

Wheezy didn't specify it was the Bengals' medical staff who mismanaged the injury. That was your knee jerk reaction to defend everything the Bengals do or don't do.

There are two ways to treat a grade III ankle sprain, surgically or nonsurgically. If nonsurgical treatment fails then they get surgery. It is perfectly reasonable to try nonsurgical treatment initially followed by surgery if necessary. That's actually the preferred route in most because the majority of grade III ankle sprains heal without surgery. The decision for surgery is individualized for each patient, but ultimately Eifert would decide which option he wanted to pursue based his doctor's advice.

With that being said, his injury wasn't mismanaged. His injury wasn't reported accurately by the media thus misleading the fans and creating unrealistic expectations.

Don't you have a thread to defend Paul Alexander to go to?
