During a press conference on Wednesday, Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis told reporters that cornerback Brandon Ghee is currently in a splint, and that the team will reevaluate his condition after four weeks -- or we figure just prior to final cuts.

Considering that he's ineligible for the Physically Unable to Perform list, the team will have to make a decision. If he remains on the 53-man roster but still rehabilitating his injury, Ghee consumes a spot on the 53-man roster which could be used on a player that would otherwise contribute. They'll either have to place him on Injured Reserve, ending his season, or waive him with an injury settlement.
