Just came out he tweaked his back in the spring. He's more than likely looking at some kind of disability sooner than later. All the more reason to hang up the cleats and move on.

Looks like after that hit he took in the Texans game last year, he tried to practice with an epidural, and they had to shut him down. Going to be another one of those what-ifs in a long list of them for this franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 FWIW, on reddit, Jim O. is saying training wheels were the plan all along for Tyler. They want him to practice some before the regular season. Guessing keeping him on the PUP is insurance if something were to happen while working out off to the side and they wouldn't have to burn a roster spot if he tweaked a hamstring or ankle and could keep him PUP'd until week 7.

T-Dub Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 So.. Any word on how Kroft* is doing? * Tyler Kroft is the Bengals TE that has suited up & played every week for the past couple of years. He had 42 receptions & 7 TD's last year. Not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had more money on the table out west from SF and LAR (not sure about guaranteed). If it wasn't us, it was going to be someone else. He chose to stay here and try to make up for his missed time. All the talk is making it sound like he should be ready week 1. As long as he gets some reps and knows the playbook, the heartache is all for naught..

Give those reps to someone that's proven themselves reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Burfict had barely seen the field since 2015 I would not want to see him offered a new contract either. Seems obvious enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it’s worth. Makes sense... When he said he was "looking forward to training camp" it was because he knew he wasn't going to have to do anything. I'd be looking forward to it too if I was getting paid that kind of money to get massages & sit in a jacuzzi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
