Despite a fun victory over the Miami Dolphins, we will be in full evaluation mode when the Cincinnati Bengals face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17.
While our focus will obviously be on the Men in Stripes, there is one Cardinals player that Cincy fans were looking forward to seeing up close.
Unfortunately, that was sadly taken off the table.
Arizona defensive tackle Walter Nolen suffered a non-contact injury on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. And while that was bad enough, his reaction to what transpired was heartbreaking.
Now, a player that many in Cincinnati have been talking about for missing out on in the draft (among several others) will be absent when the Bengals take on the Cardinals this Sunday.
