Doh!
Poor Bengals.
Poor Bengals.
Bengals tackle Andre Smith just provided another dramatic plot point for Hard Knocks.
The sixth overall pick of the draft broke his foot Tuesday, just two days after signing with the team. The injury came in a non-contact drill and Smith will not require surgery on the foot.
"It's too soon to closely predict how long it will be before he can return to practice. But it looks like he's going to miss a few weeks," coach Marvin Lewis said.
The Bengals seemed hopeful Smith could get in shape fast enough to start at right tackle in Week One, but those plans will have to be scuttled now.
Somewhere, Carson Palmer is shaking his head.
