CINCINNATI -- It's a little quieter in the Cincinnati Bengals running backs meeting rooms these days.
There's no doubt Giovani Bernard is missed, not only for his play on the field, but his humor, too.
"He can start and stop on a dime. The things he does when get gets into open space, we do miss that," said running backs coach Kyle Caskey.
Bernard, before he went down for the season with an ACL tear, was second in team targets behind wide receiver A.J. Green. He could split the traditional running back carries with Jeremy Hill, catch passes out of the backfield or pick up a blitz.
