He says knee is bruised and should be good to go next week. I'll believe it when he actually plays. That was the same thing AJ Green said after his injury

You're right. We'll have to see it to believe it. But sounds like we dodged a bullet.

A lot of times when you sprain your knee...it isn't bad right away. It gets bad 2-3 days later.
So he may actually think he can play right now.

Tyler Boyd really surprised me today withat his play on the outside something he's really never done before.
Give this kid a contract this offseason Katie.

I'll say the same thing about Tyler Boyd as I did AJ Green. He's got nothing to prove to me, to make me feel like he's a true competitor. I kind of hope they just shelf him to protect his health, and run the young guys. Let those roster hanger-ons go out there and give their all in a couple garbage games. This season lost relevance about 6 weeks ago.

Hope he is okay but glad he also got his 1,000 yards receiving on the season. If it is worse than a bruise and needs time to heal so be it and hope they don't rush him back.

I’d be okay with this. I know Boyd doesn’t want to do that, but it is very unlikely this season goes anywhere. If they decided to sit him for the season, I wouldn’t be upset.

Right,
Let Ross, Core and Tate get some much needed reps

Yep, it is silly to put good players at risk by playing them in meaningless games. The depth players need to get their experience and have some good film to judge them from.

Bingo. Let Ross, Tate, Malone etc get extra, live reps. The last thing we need is for Boyd to really guff himself up in these last few games.

As long as it’s not something that’s going to go through the start of next year I’ll be happy.

In Cincinnati speak that means his leg will be amputated tonight and he will show up with a prosthetic leg tomorrow at PBS.

For everyone wanting him shut down that did not go over well at all when they did it with AJ...

Tyler's most likely got a little more sack than many a Bengal fan. He'll be back to earn his paycheck if able.

Still holding my breath.
Would like to see Tate play more rather than Core, but not at the expense of Boyd being out of the lineup.
