The Cincinnati Enquirer’s report that Pro Bowl tight end Tyler Eifert going to miss three months with “minimal surgery,” appears to put his availability for the Sept. 11 opener against the Jets in doubt.
That timeline would sideline Eifert until the last week of August. He originally injured the ankle in the last quarter of the Jan. 31 Pro Bowl in Honolulu. Eifert had an MRI two days after the injury in Cincinnati and last month when he reported for the off-season program he said the ankle felt like it was coming along. But apparently it didn’t come all the way back .
