Reedy: TE Shuler Failed His Physical

by Jason Garrison on Sep 5, 2011 4:00 PM EDT

According to The Cincinnati Enquirer's Joe Reedy, tight end Mickey Shuler, who the Bengals claimed off waivers on Sunday, has failed his physical with the Bengals and that his roster spot will be filled in the next couple of days.

It is unclear as to who the Bengals will choose to take Shuler's roster spot but Chase Coffman was waived to make room for Shuler so it's possible that they could re-sign him. Either way, I'm sure the team will look to sign a tight end to join Jermaine Gresham and Colin Cochart.

We'll keep you updated on the situation.

UPDATE: According to Geoff Hobson, signing somebody other than a tight end is a possibility.

This comes from a post by Adam Caplan

on “The Sideline View”. I created FanShots for those lists.

Few interesting names. Manumaleuna, Lee, Baker, Mills.

I would highly doubt they go w/ Coffman.

Might not be a TE at all apparently

Also sounds like PR is set

@GeoffHobsonCin: Marvin Lewis says TE Shuler flunked physical and Brandon Tate will indeed return punts for #bengals

by Oregonbengalsfan on Sep 5, 2011 4:13 PM EDT up reply actions

I see a name.

His name is Coats. Daniel Coats.

Quan?

Not when we picked up Tate

by Oregonbengalsfan on Sep 5, 2011 4:24 PM EDT up reply actions

Crumpler could be interesting if...

….there’s any tread left on the tires. A seasoned vet to add to our two young guys. Not as good a blocker but better receiver than Reggie Kelly.

Please not Coates!!!!!

Fred Bennett

Mike Brown bring back Fred Bennett, with Jean-Gilles gone we no longer have someone to complain about and will instead have to turn our attention back to complaining about YOU!

The next person I'm complaining about will be Gibril Wilson.

Nate Livings would be another.

Maybe Andre Smith. We’ve got to have a whipping boy!!

I'd say the heck w/ it and go w/ Leonard Davis or Randall Gay. Try to fill this spot w/ a guy w/ experience.

Wade?

by ashunte23 on Sep 5, 2011 4:50 PM EDT reply actions

Okay I'm crazy, but

Use the O’Donald kid as a TE. He’s 6’9" @ 300+ and is agile enough that the Celtics were interested in him, so one would think he has good hands and feet. What the heck? Am I nuts?

yup

Hello!

Are you actually Mike Brown? Didn’t you want to take Harris and turn him into TE too?

by WHYUS!! on Sep 5, 2011 5:13 PM EDT up reply actions

No. Mike Brown doesn't know that he's crazy.

So that rules out sofa

Coffman has been signed to the practice squad

So not the 53.

PS It’s hard to believe he’s still eligible for PS.

by emeybee on Sep 5, 2011 5:10 PM EDT reply actions

Maybe, Just Maybe

He’ll learn to block and get his shot. This kid can get open and catch.

Does anybody know what exactly does a physical consist of?

What do you do when there's no way out? Find a way to get deeper in it.

Mike Brown looking at you in boxers? And a lot of pointing and giggling from Katie then the doctors coming from loading up the old ice box with ice in Mike’s office, give you the old turn and cough!

by Caleb Burch on Sep 5, 2011 9:16 PM EDT up reply actions

Roster moves

I suspect….They didn’t want to break the news to Coffman that he sucked at blocking so they cut him for someone else that seemed to be better. Hoping that no one would pick Coffman up, they could put him on the PS after they fixed the physical and failed Shuler. This way they can get another player other than a TE on the 53 without hurting Coffmans feeling that bad.
But of course this is all far fetched speculation and I could think of something different with about 2 more drinks…
