Bengals' Tyler Kroft: Takes part in rehab exercises Wednesday

Kroft (knee) participated in some rehab exercises during Wednesday's practice, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports.

Analysis:

Kroft originally pegged Week 1 as a target for his return, but given the nature of knee sprains, it wouldn't be surprising if he wasn't ready by then. As a rookie last season, Kroft helped fill the void during starter Tyler Eifert's absence. With both Kroft and Eifert still banged up at this stage, added early-season opportunities could be on tap for C.J. Uzomah.
