Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah certainly isn’t alone in his rehab process at Paul Brown Stadium.
He’s got star quarterback Joe Burrow and star center Trey Hopkins right there with him.
Uzomah caught up with Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com to reveal how he’s doing on the comeback trail from his torn Achilles:
“When I’m cutting, it feels like I’m getting back to not thinking as much about pushing off and doing certain things. The main thing is the mental aspect. Am I going to think about this while I’m making this cut? I’m not really thinking about it as much as I was in the past.”
The veteran tight end revealed the training staff that helped Leon Hall recover multiple times from the same injury is a big reason he’s sticking at PBS for his rehab this offseason.
But Hopkins and Burrow sure aren’t bad selling points either.
Uzomah describes both as upbeat and fun given the circumstances and they’re even trading verbal jabs here and there in true locker room fashion.
With Burrow already on track for Week 1 and Uzomah feeling like he’s going to make it there too, two small pieces of the Bengals attack seem on track — and they’re having fun tackling it together.
