If he was having problems with it and wasn't addressing them, this is a chance for the team to take a better look at it, focus on is and strengthen it before we get halfway through the season and it becomes a bigger issue. We may have just gotten really lucky.
And a bone bruise beats a tibial plateau fracture. The Bengals flat out lie about injuries. This makes already unrealistic fan expectations even more unrealistic. When a player with a fracture doesn't return when they think a bruise should heal they start pointing the finger of blame.
If I've learned anything it is not to believe anything they report. Especially a prognosis.
