Bengals Place Jake Fisher On NFI List; Re-Sign Eric Winston, Start Andre Smith At RT

The Cincinnati Bengals’ grand plans of seamlessly rebuilding their offensive line would seem to have hit a bump in the road, and a scary one at that. Their primary starting right tackle this season, 2015 second-round draft pick Jake Fisher, finds himself in a worrisome situation at the moment, and his season over.

Fisher left the Bengals’ last game and went to the hospital with an undisclosed illness. Earlier this week, Cincinnati placed him on the non-football injury list. Yesterday, head coach Marvin Lewis said that he is experiencing an irregular heartbeat, and that he is going to have surgery in the near future to attempt to correct the problem.
