"Bengals first-round pick John Ross avoided a season-ending knee injury when he went down during the team’s final preseason game, but it still looks like the rookie wide receiver is going to have a delayed start to his first NFL season."

Probably one part due to the guy's injury history with his knees mixed with the Bengals' medical staff and their crack ability to say a guy is out for a few weeks or it is minor (Eifert) and then the guy misses the year.
