He's banged up from the title game. I don't see the point in him playing either. I thought I read that he was going to be down at the Senior Bowl for a little while.
He literally has torn cartilage in his ribs. I'm sure the Bengals understand.

Well there you go. Great news for us.

The marketing and money making of having a Heisman and National Championship winner is enough to sell MB on.
It's a dream scenario for both sides, it seems. Joe is an Ohio native, his gf is from Mason, there's a Nebraska connection between HC and Joe, etc.
The Bengals would probably take him regardless, but the fact that he (appears) to want to come home and play for the Bengals is icing. Not to mention the built in connection with the HC.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
