Cincinnati, OH (SportsNetwork.com) – The Cincinnati Bengals placed tight end Tyler Eifert on injured reserve with a designation to return due to the elbow injury he suffered in Sunday’s game against the Ravens.

Teams may place one player in this category each season. Eifert won’t be eligible to practice for six weeks and can’t return to game action for eight weeks. His first possible opportunity to play will be on Nov. 6 against Cleveland.

Eifert caught 39 passes for 445 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games last season. The Notre Dame product was a first-round pick of the Bengals in 2013.
