Looks like they young Wideouts will have to wait.

How injury prone was Dennard? He plays pretty physical (extremely physical) and suddenly when we needed him he wasn't shut down so quick.

Billings was quick to be shut down for a MCL sprain. An injury players typically return from and in some cases play with. He was "injured" in July if he made it to camp, I can't remember. I don't remember seeing him in pads, just remember reports he was getting pushed around by 3rd string. They may have shut him down after mandatory minicamps in June.

Ross practiced most of the year even though he was "injured".

Ask McCarron and the judge who ruled in favor of him how the Bengals handle "injuries" to players they want benched in favor of Vets.

Some of these "injuries" are just excuses to sit young players.

Either way I'm not as sold as everyone else that none of these wideouts can get 548 yards with 860 snaps. I still believe in them. Didn't realize so many didn't anymore.

I still have hope for Boyd, Ross, and Malone. But that's partially because if I really like the players leading up to the draft, I typically keep the faith through their first three years.
I also think Boyd can get 548 because he got 603 his rookie year.
