As expected, the Bengals have placed defensive end Antwan Odom on injured reserve after he underwent surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles’ tendon.
But the Bengals got some good news along their starting defensive line; defensive tackle Domata Peko does not have a serious knee injury. His availability for Week Seven will be assessed later in the week.
Also, tackle Andre Smith is due to return to practice after suffering a broken foot not long after signing his rookie contract following an extended holdout.
The Bengals host the 3-2 Bears on Sunday in the back end of a FOX double-header.
Wow! You guys really need some editing help with the headlines. The implication of the headline, as written, was that Peko had reason to be happy Odom is injured. That is a real departure from the point of your post.
Benson Bowl!!! Ochocinco is already calling out the Bears players on twitter, even the Bears’ beat reporter Zach Zaidman, what a tool.
Bengals over the teddies, 20-14. Peko will be fine.
Fix the headline dumb ass.
That is “GOOD NEW” for him!!!
Needs to be Good NEWS. or good Gnu….
It would be better if you had a shot of Andre’s boobs.
Who is Domata Peko?
Good news out of a possible devastating loss. Odom will be missed but, we have players that can step up on the edge. Had Peko gone out for more than a few weeks we would be in some serious trouble in the interior. Big game next week against the Bears and if we lose that one, we are in trouble.
Anybody got two tight ends we can have?
The Bears have quite a few solid tight ends, and no you can’t have them.
You gotta give credit to benson the way he’s running this year… but it only reaffirms how little effort he put into his stint in Chicago. I hope Briggs and the boys bring the pain.
I just wanted to thank Lovie Smith and the rest of the Bears organization for trading the best young QB since John Elway and a consensus ESPN top 5 quarterback Kyle Orton. He has a cannon for a right arm and and a face meant for a CK underwear model. Jay Cutler is a whiny, pathetic little coward, who is terrible in big games and probably will never win one because he lacks the testicles. Kyle Orton is god and would have won multiple superbowls in that scum filled liberal city Chicago. 6-0
