Apart from getting thumped by the Lions on Friday night, the Bengals suffered a potentially significant loss to their rookie class.

Linebacker Dontay Moch, a third-round pick in the 2011 draft, has a fractured foot, according to John Clayton of ESPN. Moch could miss eight weeks.

Moch, a Phoenix native who played college football at Nevada, is listed as the second-string strongside linebacker, behind Manny Lawson.
