Remember when Carson tore a ligament in his elbow in '08 but tried to come back and play without surgery. I am sure many people around the Bengals thought he would not be able to do it, but they were not going to come out and say he was finished for the season while he was still trying to play.
I don't think the Bengals ever officially announced he tore an elbow ligament. And if he did tear it and decided to let it heal without surgery then they knew he wasn't going to play again that season which they didn't admit, either.
