Ideally, this is an injury that will eventually recover, but its hard not to question if its something that might need surgical treatment if he does not totally return to practice soon. It likewise makes you stress if hell be back to his Pro Bowl self when he returns or if it will restrict his effectiveness.
Atkins did get in some private work today, so hes at least made some practice, though the injury report states he did not practice. The truth that Atkins will have missed three games without practicing completely for practically a month is extremely worrying and could signify the injury was pretty substantial. The group hasnt positioned him on hurt reserve, which is simpler to overcome this year considering that gamers just need to remain on it for 3 weeks before being eligible to go back to the 53-man roster.
The Bengals will when again be without Geno Atkins when they face the Eagles.
On Friday, head coach Zac Taylor revealed that Atkins would miss Week 3 due to his shoulder injury, which apparently happened in the groups last training school scrimmage.
The bright side for Cincinnati today is Atkins backup, Mike Daniels, is anticipated to play after missing out on Week 2 with a groin injury. The Bengals desperately require a win Sunday to prevent an 0-3 start that could set the stage for another long, losing season for the Bengals.
