Really? We're hating on who is the Ruler of the Jungle now?

 

 

I can't wait till Joe Mixon retires and comes back to do it, just for you Harry.

He'll probably stumble over his own feet and fall on his face before he gets to the throne

and jump up thumping his chest before waiving a Glock in some old ladies face.

Bengals might have avoided serious Charlie Jones injury

It sounds like the Cincinnati Bengals might have avoided a serious injury with wide receiver Charlie Jones after all.

Jones left practice on a cart after suffering an injury at Paycor Stadium on Thursday and wasn’t made available for the media after practice.

But from the looks of a writeup from Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com, which includes a comment from wideout Andrei Iosivas, the injury might not be nearly as bad as it seemed at the time:

_Wide receiver Charlie Jones, another one of those leapers from rookie to sophomore who was having a productive camp, got carted off the field after a play in seven-on-seven. He caught a pass, turned up field, and went down. Iosivas thought he heard knees knocking and judging from some of the smiles and jokes relayed from the locker room, they were hoping it wasn’t significant.

That would be a huge boon for Jones and the Bengals.

Jones heads into his sophomore year fighting for a chance to play with the base offense after Tyler Boyd’s departure in free agency. He’s seemingly behind Iosivas and potentially even rookie Jermaine Burton in that regard, but his skill on special teams as a returner is mostly unquestioned compared to the rest of the roster.

I hope Jones isn't injured badly either, but this article doesn't tell us anything new. I am glad to see Iosivas so strongly supporting Jones here and hoping it's nothing too serious, especially since they would be competing for many of the same offensive snaps.

Felt that same way dex, camaraderie on this team is excellent

A small excerpt from a nice article on Daijuan Anthony, whom Hobson called the send most impressive rookie in camp thus far:

 

Bengals fans should get plenty of chances to see that passion on display Saturday. After a whirlwind camp of three interceptions in the first nine practices and a spot in the first-team dime package, he and Jordan Battle may play into the second half once starting safeties Vonn Bell and Geno Stone leave after the first five snaps or so.

 

The Bengals usually keep six cornerbacks and four safeties for the final 53-man roster. But with safety and special teams ace Tycen Anderson mending quickly and the versatility offered by Anthony and rookie cornerback Josh Newton, a 5-5 split could be in the offing.

He'll never find a parking space because he keeps going around the block...
