Marvin Lewis hopes Tyler Eifert doesn’t play more than 50 snaps a game

The durability of tight end Tyler Eifert has been under more scrutiny than the handling of Flint, Michigan’s water.

Well, maybe not that much, but it’s been a pressing issue for five years now.

Eifert has been dealing with numerous injuries for the vast majority of his NFL career, and 2018 has been no different so far. He entered training camp this year with a back issue and was initially placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list for the first few practices.

To the surprise of most outside the organization, he was activated off said list less than a week after being placed on it, and was able to fully practice with the team again.
