Bengals wide receivers coach James Urban is running the NFL Draft’s version of a go route even though his foot is in a cast as he continues to scramble to get a leg up on the raft of prospects in next week’s extravaganza.
From the time Urban tore his Achilles’ in a pick-up basketball game last Wednesday night to his surgery Friday morning, all of 36 hours had passed and then he was on the field Tuesday morning at Paul Brown Stadium in scooter shepherding the receivers through the team’s local prospects day.
“Tough tear, easy repair,” is the diagnosis and the Bengals can only hope their effort to reconstruct their receiving corps goes as well.
