The injury bug that the Bengals avoided so long at the beginning of last season has attacked them with a vengeance early in this training camp.
Citing multiple sources, ProFootballTalk.com reported Tuesday that first-round pick William Jackson suffered a torn pectoral muscle in Monday’s practice. Jackson, out of the University of Houston, had been lining up as the fifth or sixth cornerback but had been viewed as a potential big-time special teams contributor in his rookie season.
Jackson could very well be headed to season-ending injured reserve since a torn pectoral takes several months to heal.
