Andre Smith Fractured His Foot

Confirming what reader firstPick said in the comments of the previous Andre Smith post, the Bengals newly-signed offensive tackle has a fractured foot and will miss time. Smith hurt his left foot in a non-contact drill, according to Bengals.com.
And the frustrations surrounding this pick continue to mount.
Is it safe to say Smith's rookie season is an official bust yet? I can't remember this much bad luck associated with one pick. Oh wait, the name Ki-Jana Carter just flashed in my head. Is it OK to hope Smith's debacle doesn't reach Carter levels or should I simply keep my mouth shut?
Update:
Smith is expected to miss seven to ten days. Again courtesy of PFT (via NFL.com).

Oh Well...
He wasn’t going to start… and sounds like he needs time with the playbook anyhow. AND he was on 2 week exemption.

Oh Well
Lets hope that he does study his playbook and is a force come the 2010 season.

the season is almost lost for his. He may contribute, but he wont help the Bengals as much as they needed

Return?
Anybody know a time table for return?

"a few weeks."
So in other words, 2010.

NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora reports that Smith will be off the field for only 7-10 days, and should be fully back in the mix within two weeks.

I consider Justin Smith to be a successful pick

Either way
us Niner fans definitely love Justin Smith…

Really???
Successful? The 4th overall pick in the draft ought to be recording 10-sack seasons every year! When did he ever do that, again? Right.
$4.3 million per sack in ’07…franchise player. Right.

Well I hope he does come back quickly. Not because I believe in him (yet) or anything, but because I’d like to be wrong about drafting him.
But as soon as I found out about the weight clause I thought it was a very good thing. And now I even think even more so.

he’ll probably be back in time to take over the starting right tackle spot in week 4, which is about what i expected anyway.
