More Eifert concern?

He isn’t snake bit.... he has a bad back. This will not go away.

LOL, anyone who thought you would see him for more than 6-8 games was dreaming.

I have a hard time playing 21 (basketball) with a buddy... and I can only do it once a week. And I’m a highly competitive and still active 32 year old and used to run marathons.

He won’t be healthy playing professional football with his condition. Period

As someone said in another thread, maybe they should put him on the PUP list until late in the season. Then maybe we could get some good production out of him if we're in the playoff hunt?

He could miss TC just as well as he could participate in every part of TC; its too early to call.

But if he comes back the day after missing time and he's still doing the same things he was doing before, I don't see how this changes anything.

Definitely not enough to have people up in arms though. Pipe down.

This is true.  The team is so tight lipped, when it comes to releasing any details, that some folks just run with a worst possible scenario.  And, at this point, it's tough to blame those fans for that mentality.  We've only gotten our hopes up for a healthy Tyler Eifert, how many times now?

That was the "minor injury" that Lap gave him shit about. A herniated disc that needed surgery, which he still played through until he couldn't. I remember the guy being in tons of pain on the field, slowly dragging himself off the ground, and getting ready for the next snap.

Bengals medical staff F'd up (surprise), Lap publicly threw him under the bus, and then everyone went awfully silent when Gresham had to get offseason surgery as a FA.

Dude missed 6 games in 5 seasons as a TE for the Bengals.

I've had a herniated disc, twice.  I can't believe he even played....the last time, it got so bad, I had to walk bent over to one side so long, it eventually caused my hip to partially dislocate.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Why friggen lie about it? Really has no strategic advantage to mislead that a player may come back earlier than he will. And if they are not lying, then we have pretty piss poor Dr's on this staff.

Actually his knee had not been right throughout the 2009 season as he missed 3 games due to it.  The Bucs knew the knee was bad still and that's why he had to go.

While Bengals doctors may not be entirely to blame for not catching it, Mike Brown is responsible for giving him such a large signing bonus for someone coming off knee surgery and poor production in the previous season.  I believe that Antonio Bryant probably knew that knee was still bad when he signed the contract but hoped it'd get better.  It never did.


I hope I'm wrong about Eifert and he has a great season, but I just don't have that feeling.

Eifert's health is always a concern for me.

my back was really bad about 8 years ago, I changed the way o worked out and even my proactively at work as well. it's so much better now but I still have herniated disc and it will never be the same.  I play softball once a week n some basketball but I can never play football again that's for sure.  standing for a long period of time does me in. sounds like Eifert might be done .  back issues are no joke

[SunsetBengal]

And... He tweaked the back, again.

Quote:It turns out the issue is another “tweak” of his back, per Rapoport.
“My understanding is he did tweak his back just a little bit,” Rapoport said on Wednesday’s edition of “Inside Minicamp Live,” per NFL.com’s Chris Wesseling.
Rapoport apparently also noted the frustration stemming from Lewis spreads throughout the organization.

Standing does me in too.  I just put a new floor in my deck, and new stairs in it a couple months back......I had to take a few breaks and lie on the floor and try to tweak my spine.  I used to do that for pay.....back problems and getting old sucks. This is the first year I've had to rest my back doing things like that. With two bum shoulders, I'm off way more than I lift, no squats or anything not supported by a bench.  Running is out.

[Tiger Teeth]

Well, it looks like my PUP idea might be a no choice decision.

I've already had a wrist and elbow joint replacement done on my right arm due to extreme repetitive motion syndrome (masturbatitis). And it looks like I will need another within a year or so.

Yeah, now imagine getting hit full speed by 240lb men in the back while you had that herniated disc, holding onto the ball, and then needing to get back up off the ground within a handful of seconds and get ready to do it again.

Dude was tough.

4th back surgery incoming.

[J24]

Gronk had the same surgery last year and was still his same old self last season. I imagine that there ups and downs all the time in the rehab process.

And if he does every get fit enough to play, the first time he gets hit on the back he will be out for the rest of the season.
As I mentioned, It's time to cut ties with him. Possible move Tate to TE
