The Bengals struggled with injuries throughout their receiving corps last year, but at the moment, things are looking good.
Via FOX 19 in Cincinnati, wideout Marvin Jones said he had “no limitations” when the team began voluntary workouts this week.
“It’s just important for me to get out there and do everything consistently,” Jones said. “And, I have been doing that, but it’s different being here and running routes every day. . . .
“I’m definitely glad that I’m back with my brothers. It gives me a great sense of wanting to hurry up and get out there and be with them and work hard with them.”
Jones missed all of 2014 because of foot and ankle injuries, keeping him from building on his 2013 season in which he caught 10 touchdowns. Coupled with the persistent toe problems of star wide receiver A.J. Green and tight end Tyler Eifert lost for the season with an elbow injury in the opener, and it’s surprising the Bengals made it as far as they did.
“It’s good to have Marvin and Tyler and all of these guys back,” quarterback Andy Dalton said. “I know they’re ready to get back going again and so I’m excited to get those guys back.”
With more weapons available in the passing game, however, there will also be more pressure on Dalton to make something of them.
