Report: Bengals' Eifert considering season-ending back surgery
by from on (#34S5D)
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert is considering season-ending back surgery, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Field Yates.
The 27-year-old caught four passes for 46 yards in the first two games of this season, but has missed Cincinnati's last three contests.
He previously underwent back surgery in December, and has also battled a knee injury throughout the 2017 campaign.
The Bengals have gone 2-1 in Eifert's absence, while backup tight end Tyler Kroft has seen his targets increase.
