That's a bummer. I do wonder if Bates ends up back before end of training camp if we don't see Hill basically not coming off the field and playing a bit of all positions, including outside corner.

F***

I would love to know what they did because an muscle injuries don’t just go away. Same as hammy injuries. You use those muscles so much there’s never really time to actually heal.


Ngl i was penciling CTB in to be a contributor this year. I’m very upset if he can’t find a way to become a rotational guy.

Man, we've had some rotten luck drafting corners the past 10 years. WJ3, DD, DreK... none of the Day 2s & 3s have amounted to much either. We've done better filling that room via free agency/*trade, especially under Lou (Chido, Apple, Flowers, Hilton).

I just hope this is a one-off and not a sign of things to come.

Its okay we got time to Wait for him to get healthy...

Agreed. Even worse, I see it as collateral damage for not having clarity around JB30. I doubt they would've have drafted 3 DBs otherwise, and maybe CTB wouldn't even be here. But it's not worth griping over, that's football. It's just frustrating.

Apple it is....

[*ochocincos*]

Damn.

It's a good thing Bengals still have Apple.

Huh? How?

- different schools
- different rounds
- different positions
- different injuries

I don't see any comparison aside from the colour of their skin and the NCAA conference they played in.

Which is fine, as he had a very good year last year and by all accounts, has looked superb in camp.

[J24]

Disappointing but it's not the end of the world + he can come back later in the season. He is probably the 5th guy on the depth chart behind Flowers anyways.

[Dr.Z]

Bummer . I’m very anxious to see him play.

[AlphaBengal]

Definitely will hurt the depth at the position but I don’t think he was going to get a bunch of meaningful snaps in the first month of the season anyways.

Our CB depth is really bad. Who do we even have after our top 2? Maybe I'm just not thinking of people and it's not as bad.

IF Bates starts on time, Dax Hill should be the dime back and can match up on big TEs and some slot guys.  The thing is, most of the depth are nickle types that aren't ideal outside.  I could see an older cut vet as a solid stopgap.

[basballguy]

If its a sports hernia its a 3-6 week recovery time.  3 weeks until week 1 which means theres a chance he can play week 1 I don't get the sky is falling act from people in this thread.

Oh man, this one sucks. I thought CTB could push for a starting spot this year over Apple but that may not be the case 
after this. This will really slow down his growth this year as a rookie. But if this is only the Preseason it could also not be 
that bad and could be a blessing in disguise for all we know.

I just didn't want an Ossai type of injury to any of our rookies this preseason. This doesn't sound nearly that bad.
