GEORGETOWN, Ky. (AP) -The Cincinnati Bengals aren’t sure how much time running back Brian Leonard will miss because of an injured left foot.
Leonard hurt the foot on Saturday during a 16-7 loss to Dallas in the Hall of Fame game. He initially feared he had torn ligaments and might have to miss the season.
Coach Marvin Lewis said on Wednesday that he’s optimistic Leonard will be able to play at some point during the season. He said it will be a couple more weeks before the team has a better idea how long it will take to heal. Leonard is their best third-down threat out of the backfield.
Lewis also expressed frustration with offensive lineman Andre Smith, who is out of shape and unable to practice.
