It's not like they needed him to start right away since they have Leon Hall, Nate Clements, Terrance Newman, Pacman, and Jason Allen, but still...that stings a little.

I read on profootballtalk.com that it was a fracture and that he would be out only 2-4 weeks. Nevertheless, 2-4 weeks is alot of time for any rookie to miss.
Depends. Missing essentially all of training camp means he won't really be able to compete for a starting job for a while. That's assuming that he recovers well. He'll play this year, but I wonder how much.Quote:

If he does and I was a Bengal fan I wouldn't feel comfortable at all going into week 1 with Clements & Newman as their starting CB's and Pacman as your nickel. It might not hurt them too bad against us since we're one of the few teams in the league more run oriented but against some fo the other teams they will be in trouble.
