Ethan

Kilmer

The special teamer is a candidate for season-ending injured reserve.

The Bengals were hoping that Perry would fill the void created by the suspension of WR Chris Henry, but he had only one catch in two games before the injury. With ten catches in only three seasons, Perry looks like another wasted Bengals draft pick.

Also ruled out against the Jets: RT Willie Anderson (foot) and S Ethan Kilmer (knee). Fill-in third receiver Antonio Chatman suffered a hamstring injury in Week 6, but head coach Marvin Lewis says he still may face New York.

Kilmer was a long shot to make the final roster as a special teamer. It sounds like he’s thinking of hanging up the spikes.

Kilmer’s injury wasn’t significant, but he doesn’t play on defense and was expendable. He’ll go on injured reserve once he clears waivers.

The Bengals’ next minicamp is May 13. Lewis also confirmed that Kenny Irons (ACL surgery) will not be available. S Ethan Kilmer (knee) will take part.

Kilmer is an important special teamer, but he doesn’t play a major role on defense.

Kilmer could catch on as a special teamer later on.

The former Nittany Lion will be asked to play specials as a rookie.

Kilmer will try to make the Fins as only a special teamer.
