Went out with injury after the first solo on the first drive... Anyone know the injury?

I found one that says it was a foot injury, and another that says it's a hand injury. Whatever it was, it was bad enough that he didn't return to the game. Crocker put up some good stats in his place.

Bengals SS Chinedum Ndukwe tore his plantar fascia in the first quarter of Sunday's tie with the Eagles.
Chris Crocker replaced him, finishing with four solo tackles, a sack, and an interception. Ndukwe seems highly unlikely to be ready by Thursday night.

that sounds painful.

Sigh. This could be anywhere from a brief two week thing to a 4-6 week rehab.

It'll be short. So-so player in a pretty good situation. Probably DB3 value with some good weeks due to the safety blitzes that the Bengals like to use.

Crocker was a fantasy tease for years with the Browns. He would do just enough for you to feel comfortable to put him in your lineup. So you put him in.... then...Blam!!

Not one to question the good doctor, but we've had a few Aussie Rules players with the exact same injury over the past couple of years; each of which has been able to play soon after (even the next week in some cases).It's actually better to snap the plantar fascia than to have it stretched, as it can heal once snapped.
A well known story over here was when one of the best players in the league, Robert Harvey, jumped off his kitchen bench to snap the ligament so that he could play without pain within a week or so.

Always question.
Definitely true that many get back to play within a couple of weeks. Reading Marvin Lewis' expanded comments, it would appear that the Bengals are anticipating that's the case. Unfortunately, we all know how much stock to put in what the Bengals say. Hopefully, this isn't so severe that he'll end up in a boot for a month.

Any word on Ndukwe's return? He isn't gonna play tonight but is it possible he plays with fantasy value the week after???
If not, I might as well put him on the DS (developmental Squad) for the mandatory 3 weeks to save room for Chris Johnson (oak) this week.
Thanks guys.

Conflicting reports. There was some speculation that this could be a 3-4 week thing. Marvin said he saw it similar to Rashad Jeanty's injury earlier in the year, which didn't cost Jeanty any games. It's probably most telling that Ndukwe isn't on IR. I think there's a chance he'll return next week, but I'd plan on W14 to be safe.

I saw the Crocker hit, I played him in a lot of leagues last night and I'm happy w/ the stats he put up.

If Robert Harvey plays Aussie Rules football than he's one tough sonofa.. even before reading the ligament story. Those guys make rugby players look like nancies.

Nothing of note. I doubt he'll practice tomorrow, even a limited practice would be a good sign.

Wonder why he has such good projected stats up when he hasn't even practiced.

Not much but...(KFFL) Mark Curnutte, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals SS Chinedum Ndukwe (foot) might be able to practice Wednesday, Dec. 10, and he could be available for Week 15.

It is Monday! I can't wait... sorry
http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20081209/SPT02/812090329You know I almost hate to read that: "might." In a playoff game I need to know for sure (doesn't Marvin know that?!). I guess I bench him again, thoughat least my other two options are decent enough.

You'll not get anything out of Marvin, unfortunately. Practice reports are key, but the inactive list/starting lineup released on Sunday may be the only clear information we get.

I may end up releasing him this week and filling his roster spot with, at the very least, someone my opponent would like to have had. Early comments from Marvin Lewis:
