Smith Only Out 7-10 Days

Angst is an understandable emotion when you’re a Bengals fan. But perhaps the comparisons between Andre Smith and Ki-Jana Carter were a bit overblown. While SB Nation blog Cincy Jungle wondered whether Smith’s rookie year was already a bust, word out of Cincinnati is that Smith may only miss 7-10 days. From PFT:

NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora reports that Smith will be off the field for only 7-10 days, and should be fully back in the mix within two weeks.

Smith reportedly suffered a stress fracture in his left foot, according to La Canfora’s sources. It sounds like Smith’s status for Week One is still in serious doubt, but the Bengals have avoided a major injury.

See, not so bad. Repeat after me Bengal’s fans: it’s not your fault. It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault...
