Arkansas Bengal Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Optimism with Bengals RB Rex Burkhead By Josh Kirkendall @Josh_Kirkendall on Aug 20 2014, 1:49p Aaron Doster-USA TODAY Sports Cincinnati Bengals running back Rex Burkhead isn't using crutches anymore, several days after injuring his knee against the New York Jets. Head coach Marvin Lewis called his injury a "sore knee". Cincinnati Bengals running back Rex Burkhead has a "sore knee", head coach Marvin Lewis told reporters on Wednesday. Hum. Let's file this under "Things we don't believe Lewis says" and go with the widely believed theory that Burkhead suffered an MCL sprain against the New York Jets Saturday evening. Regardless, there is optimism. Coley Harvey @ColeyHarvey Follow Good sign for #Bengals RB Rex Burkhead. Still in compression cast, but no crutches today. Had those Monday 10:24 AM - 20 Aug 2014 If the team wants to keep Burkhead, they'll have to use a spot for him, place him on IR (the one where he can come back after eight weeks) or season-ending IR... no, he's not eligible for PUP. And if the team places him on IR with a designation to return then they won't be able to use that on another player. http://www.cincyjungle.com/2014/8/20/6049521/optimism-with-bengals-rb-rex-burkhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
