Thoughts on maualuga different? Maualuga wearing a cast


Recommended Posts

CINCINNATI — Bengals middle linebacker Rey Maualuga wore a pink cast on his left foot Monday, an indication his ankle injury will sideline him for more than only one game.

The team said Maualuga sprained his left ankle during practice last Thursday. He wasn't active for a 27-17 win over the Colts on Sunday. The Bengals are 4-2 heading into their bye this week, with their defense ranked among the league's best.

Maualuga declined to talk to reporters as he passed through the locker room on Monday, supporting himself with two metal crutches. Coach Marvin Lewis hasn't given any indication how long he'll be out.

The Bengals could get cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones back after the bye. Jones said on Monday that he's been cleared to return from offseason neck surgery.

After actually seeing the game on tv rather than down at the stadium i realized the team loses a lot just by not having Rey's intensity.

Skuta is really hesitant to stick his nose in the pile to try and make something happen like Reggie Nelson and Clements have a knack for. MLB has to be aggressive but not to the point where you're running past the plays.

Not saying Maualuga plays perfectly, but his presence in the game lets the offense know they're not going to get any easy runs up the middle.

Here's to a speedy recovery to Rey....we will need him to drop the hammer on Pissburgh at the latest.

And amid all that, middle linebacker [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/rey-maualuga/72e4f750-08d1-4fa5-abee-a5cfebe1389b/"]Rey Maualuga[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] emerged on crutches and said the best-case scenario for his return from a sprained ankle is Nov. 6 in Tennessee.
“But I’m not a doctor. I’m not sure,” Maualuga said before Tuesday’s practice. “I’m in a cast, but I don’t know why (because it’s not broken).”

Whew! Glad it's not a 4th or (thank God) a 5th degree lateral ankle sprain. Now, that's painful. LOL, how many degrees are there?
