I want to start today's show with, well, the news of the day.

The news that kind of stole the show, the news that probably

surprised you as it surprised me when I was in the Bengals locker room today.

And, yeah, it was kind of shocking.

The Bengals let us know in the locker room that they had placed Trey Carson on the injured

reserve list after what happened on Monday, which was a

a hamstring injury, not bad enough to put him on injured reserve, but they need a third back.

So they waive him. And if he clears waivers, which I expect him to, then they can settle

with an injury settlement and he

can become a free agent. And then when he's healthy, who knows, maybe he comes back. But,

but, but, but what that means is Mark Walton going to not only be active, Mark Walton is going

to be in the mix. Mark Walton is going to get carries.

You're going to hear from Mark Walton today.

Also, not only that, but you're going to hear from Joe Mixen today on his injury.

I'll give you an update on Billy Price, which isn't good.
