No Tez at Practice

I think if the team had crazy need, they could rush him back now. Sitting at 6-0, I think they want to ease him back for a playoff run. Acclimate the knee to pro football conditions, get the rest of Tez back into football shape, and have him ramping up for the last 6 weeks of the regular season.

Right now, the Bengals want to extend Tez's career, and don't yet have to sacrifice a playoff run to do it... The Bengals rushed Warrick back from a knee injury, and it essentially ended a nice career. I think they want to play this one a little smarter.

Got no problem with them playing it safe.  If that's the case shelve him for the year and be done with it.  This team needs help at LB, period.

What's irritating is Marvin waffling around, saying on initial cut down day how hard of a decision it was to PUP him and he would be 100% after the 6 extra weeks, only now to start the crap again with everyone.

And I don't think Burfict is too happy either.  Apparently he jumped over a trash can (or something similar) at the end of practice yesterday - likely in protest I presume to show he is ready.
