BengalsNYC Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Smith breaks foot GEOFF HOBSON Posted 7 minutes ago Less than 48 hours after signing his contract, rookie right tackle Andre Smithsuffered a fractured foot late in Tuesday's practice and is going to be out of action for what head coach Marvin Lewis called "a few weeks." In a statement released through the Bengals public relations department, Lewis said, “Andre suffered a small fracture in his left foot during a non-contact drill. Our medical staff tells me the injury will not require surgery, which obviously is good news, but he’s going to miss a few weeks. ” "A few weeks," could mean anything. Cornerbacks David Jones and Morgan Trent suffered foot fractures during this preseason and their rehab took about five weeks. But Smith's may not be as long because both Jones and Morgan had surgery.

BengalsNYC Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 So whatever "conditioning" he had is pretty much out the window. He's looking like a real non-factor this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surgery is good but one would think carrying 330lbs+ is going to make his recovery on the long end of the expected recovery time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Morgan Trent and David Jones were in camp on time, yet they broke their foot (feet, foots?) too. And they even broke their's worse, because they had to have surgery.

Since 87 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Wow, this isn't really an "out of shape" kind of injury. One could say he'd be MORE likely to break his foot if he had been practicing for 30 extra days just on the basis that more practice is more of an opportunity to injure yourself.

Arkansas Bengal Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Thanks for the holdout, Keels. It really paid off, didn't it? And now, your boy won't hit most of those first-year escalators so your commision will be cut, you greedy, incompetent, asswipe. This just sucks. I expect this to keep him out for a minimum of the first half of the season. Our First Round Draft Pick jinx continues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This certainly sets him back some, but luckily doesn't effect the starting lineup. He can still learn the playbook, lift weights, and do situps! Big thing will be missing the reps.

I can tell you right now. The chances of me jumping into practice and immeditely going 110% my chances of injuring myself are way higher. Rather than if you gave me a couple months to get in shape first. His head was saying im ready lets go 110%. His body wasnt ready yet for 110%.
