“Injuries are a part of the game.” It might as well be one’s dad proclaiming: “rub some dirt on it!”
I suppose this week’s matchup of the Cincinnati Bengals versus the Atlanta Falcons could be coined “The Walking Wounded,” given the amount of injuries both teams are dealing with at the moment. It’s also apropos because of both teams coming off of tough losses and are attempting to shake off some bad vibes.
The personnel losses have been of a more serious nature for the Falcons, as guys like Andy Levitre and Keanu Neal are done for the year, while Devonta Freeman also continues to miss time.
