Rashad Jeanty To Go On PUP

by Josh Kirkendall on Jul 28, 2010 4:00 PM EDT in Injury

During the Bengals playoff loss to the New York Jets, Rashad Jeanty suffered a fractured fibula when Bernard Scott returned the opening kickoff 56 yards. He later claimed in March, while sporting a walking boot, that he wouldn't need surgery on Sirius NFL Radio, but should be ready for minicamps. This came a few weeks before Rashad Jeanty signed his one-year tender at $1.176 million.

Unfortunately, Jeanty still isn't ready. According to Joe Reedy, the linebacker will be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

All things considered, the Bengals are shockingly healthy this year. When a team like the Baltimore Ravens, many of whom are projecting as the division champions, if not contenders for the Super Bowl, places several players on PUP, the Bengals, so far, have one.

I'm not going to be losing sleep over Jeanty being on the PUP.

Is he a good player? Yes. Do I want him to be there? Absolutely? Do I feel like whether he’s there will make a huge difference? No. We still got Rivers, Dhani, Rey, the two Johnsons (from what I hear Michael Johnson could be playing some LB,) Abdul Hodge, and our new pick Muckelroy. I’m not overly worried about Jeanty, although I would like it if he were healthy soon.

two years ago, this would have been a devastating blow to the linebacking corps, but you’re right, we’re deep enough at linebacker now that jeanty going down won’t affect much aside from special teams.

i'm going to go america all over your ass!
