Infirmary Report: Bengals Cornerback Brandon Ghee Suffers Concussion; No Update On Adam Jones' Neck Injury

While Cincinnati's 35-20 loss wasn't without the progress you'd expect during the preseason, the Bengals did suffer a few casualties. Along with Roy Williams and Chinedum Ndukwe, starters Tank Johnson and Robert Geathers sat out.

Brandon Ghee left the game after a nasty hit that left him momentarily unconscious on the field. It was scary, much like Geathers' hit on Trent Green in 2006. After colliding with Chad Simpson, Ghee's body immediately went limp. After five minutes had passed before Ghee was able to get up, the recalled ambulance was replaced by a cart that would wheel him into the lockerroom. It's been since reported that Ghee suffered a concussion and was medically cleared to make the trip back home with the team.

A few plays after Ghee's injury, Adam Jones attempted to make a tackle, but his head collided with the ball carrier's body. Jones walked off the field under his own power, not returning to the game with what was described at the time as a neck injury. There's been no word on the seriousness of his injury.

Because of the injures with Ghee and Jones, and Morgan Trent taking the night off with his own injury, the Bengals were forced to play safeties Rico Murray and Jeromy Miles as cornerbacks. In other injury news, Jonathan Fanene tweaked a hamstring earlier in the game, Carlos Dunlap didn't return after injuring his right knee and center Reggie Stephens did return after he "tweaked his right ankle."

Yeah, he’s trying to make a name for himself. And, we get it kid, you hit hard. But don’t end your career trying to start it.

yeah, somebody probably should’ve told him that third-round picks don’t get cut as rookies.
