Injury Roundup: The Week Ahead for Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals will soon be placing punter Kevin Huber on the season-ending injured reserve list after he fractured his jaw and cracked his vertebrate, and the team has a workout setup today with several free agent punters.

We looked at several free agents on the market yesterday, and it’s probably safe to assume the five being worked-out will come from that list. There’s not many, if any quality punters on the market at this time of the year, and it doesn’t help that Cincinnati is replacing a potential Pro Bowler in Huber with a guy right off the street.

Hey, at least Huber is in good spirits:
