The Cincinnati Bengals will hold their first training camp practice tomorrow. From the sounds of it, it doesn’t sound as though former Pro Bowl tight end Tyler Eifert is expected to be on the practice field with the rest of his teammates at that time, and it’s not clear when he might join them.
Eifert, in his fifth season, signed a one-year ‘prove it’ deal with the Bengals after the team declined his fifth-year option as a former first-round draft pick. He has missed more games than he has played through his first four season, so their hesitation is understandable.
