The operative word, at least as of last night, regarding Bengals tight end Jermaine Gresham’s knee injury was that he is “fine.”

So said coach Marvin Lewis after the game, according to Bengals.com. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Gresham has applied the same label to himself.

(Of course, Gresham didn’t say it on Twitter, because Lewis has banned all Bengals from the social-media monster site.)

There has not yet been a Friday update, and Gresham could feel much different after sleeping on it for the evening. Still, the fact that he was regarded as “fine” in the wake of the incident is great news, given that it looked much worse than “fine” when it happened.
