No back surgery needed at this time
Bengals TE Tyler Eifert expected to miss multiple weeks while recovering from back injury, per source. No back surgery needed at this time. (ESPN – Adam Schefter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Another year, another season in which Eifert doesn’t come close to playing 16 games. Owners in deeper leagues should probably hold him, but all others may want to cut ties. His absence means more snaps for C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Kroft, but neither one of those figure to be a fantasy factor either. As a result, look for the offense to lean toward A.J. Green even more as the focal point in the passing game.
