Marvin to have surgery

Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis will undergo surgery tomorrow (Wednesday) to repair torn tendons in his left ankle. The procedure will be performed by Dr. Jim Amis at Good Samaritan Hospital.

The Bengals’ team schedule will not be altered, and assistant head coach Paul Alexander will stand in, in the event of any Lewis absence.

“The timing of this is not what I wanted,” Lewis said today, “but I’ve been counseled it’s the best plan to ensure that I can be fully productive during the regular season.”

The Bengals today announced they had signed former Washington Redskins linebacker Lemar Marshall. He played high school football at St. Xavier in Finneytown.

 

The Bengals waived tight Erik Jensen.

 

Marshall, wearing No. 52, adds experience to the Bengals young linebackers group. He is practicing today with the Bengals.

 

He started 45 of a possible 48 games for Washington the past three seasons. Washington recently terminated his contract. He started at middle linebacker the previous two seasons.

 

His best year was 2005 when he started all 16 games, had 132 total tackles and four interceptions, one returned for a touchdown. He was a rookie in 2002, the same season Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis spent as Redskins defensive coordinator and Bengals assistant Ricky Hunley linebackers coach.

Tailback Chris Perry is not guaranteed to start the season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and could be back sooner than expected from serious ankle surgery last season.

 

"He's really progressing well," head coach Marvin Lewis said. "He might be further along than where we entered last season."

 

Starting the season on PUP, which he did last season, would have made Perry ineligible to play in the first six weeks (five games). Perry's return sooner than later would ease the season-ending loss of rookie tailback Kenny Irons. Irons was drafted to provide some of the same firepower outside in the run offense that Perry can.

 

Just as significant players get healthy, such as Anderson, Perry and left tackle Levi Jones, others are dropping off. Starting strong-side linebacker Rashad Jeanty will have surgery Friday on a lower leg injury. Safety Ethan Kilmer had knee surgery this morning and is out of action for a undisclosed amount of time.
