The Cincinnati Bengals had arguably the best defense in the NFL over the past 8 games last year, and part of that had to do with the addition of rookie linebacker Emmanuel Lamur. After going undrafted out of Kansas State, Lamur was signed to the practice squad, but eventually got the call-up to the active roster, and served primarily on special teams at first.
But as the season wore on, his snaps increased, and he eventually developed into the team’s best coverage linebacker. They were expecting a big year from him entering this season, and he was considered the starting strongside linebacker in their nickle defense in order to utilize his pas coverage skills best.
That won’t happen now:
Bengals LB Emanuel Lamur expected to be done for the season with a shoulder injury.
