Gio Bernard Injury: Bengals Running Back Tore ACL In Week 11, Per Report

The Cincinnati Bengals lost 16-12 to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but that might be the least of their concerns. They lost superstar wide receiver A.J. Green to a hamstring injury that reportedly includes a significant tear, and they also will be without running back Gio Bernard after he tore his ACL, per NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

It looks as though the NFL rumor mill got a little ahead of itself on a potential Colin Kaepernick trade. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday that the San Francisco 49ers had agreed in principle to trade the quarterback to the Denver Broncos, but ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio reported that’s not entirely true.
