Charlie did

Charlie Jones had surgery last Thursday on a broken bone in his right thumb. Hopeful about returning after the bye.

I don’t see a primary source from the team or from Charlie Jones. When I’ve traced these reports back to their primary source it’s a “thumb injury” that doesn’t specify what the actual injury is.

Reminds of reporters confusing shoulder separations for dislocations and vice versa all the time.

Okay. When did the team specify the injury other than “thumb injury” to the public to confirm it is broken bone? And not a gamekeeper’s thumb and the surgery is to repair a torn ligament and restore joint stability and grip strength to hold onto a football?

If Burrow is 100%, he got really awful, really fast.

[RegularGuy22]

I can't believe he is 100%. Not close. Besides if this team relies on JB being THE offense I think it's a huge mistake. Here we are with the entire team struggling because JB, the guy isn't 100% or close to it. Other teams with star players have players that compliment the star. Bengals don't do that or can't for some reason.  We have basically 1 running back. Williams or Brown haven't seen the field much. Our TE are not much part of the O. As has been said so many times our O is much too predictable  and too easy to prepare for. Years 1 and 2 we got away with it cause JB, Chase and Higgins were new. Now, the entire NFL has adjusted to us and our coaches, players don't seem to have an answer.

JB hasn't forgot how to play QB because of an injury. You don't forget how to ride a bike or swim because of an injury.
Hope Monday morning everyone isn't talking about how flat they look.

Cam Taylor-Britt is still in concussion protocol with today and tomorrow determining if he's a full go on Sunday in Arizona. He says today's full pads practice went well.

Nice post RegularGuy22. No way Burrow is 100%, calf strains affect accuracy and this has clearly been his problem so far this year
besides the lack of mobility. Need to adapt the Offense into more Jumbo packages and different run sets and add a new dimension to
the Offense.

If we can do this while Burrow gets up to 100% while having some success the season isn't over, if not, we are getting close to playing
for a top pick in the draft which is maddening after our expectations being so high going into this season. I thought at the very least we 
would sneak into the playoffs and be a tough out.

Since Burrow isn't on the injury report at all, I fully expect to see the full use of the playbook on Sunday. No more limited, shotgun only plays. 

Don't get me wrong, I won't be surprised if Joe comes out and is a statue again, missing passes, and the playbook is limited. I'm just saying if they're saying Joe is full go, no limitations, then I expect to see that on Sunday as well.

That's a good point, and seeing how the season is on life support if we lose on sunday I expect a full playbook, because after 4 games of cutting things short they need to treat this game like it's the super bowl.

Chido is out of Friday's practice

Tee Higgins is present and dressed to go
CTB is back after yesterday's full practice like he should clear concussion protocol for Sunday which will be important if Chido can't go

What type of crazy man is Tee

Im sure its hard to sit out games when you see your QB forcing himself in there injured every week.

I would not expect to see him play a crazy amount of snaps if he does play

per Zac

he feels good about CTB

Game Day decision on Chido and Tee

ADG out

Trending in a good way, thanks Pally.

another starter added to the injury report today. Time for Myles Murphy to earn that #1 status

Chido, CTB, Tee and Hendrickson all questionable.

Hope Trey is alright, damn, we need him. Maybe that is why he didn't feast last week against the Titans LT that looked like an
obvious mismatch in Trey's favor. A bad back would do it. Agreed that Myles Murphy and Joseph Ossai need to really step up if
Trey cannot go.

What do you think they meant by thumb injury, a hangnail?
