they JUST signed Andre Smith.. and he already broke his foot.. damn.

CINCINNATI (AP)—Rookie right tackle Andre Smith(notes) has broken his foot during practice, only two days after he ended his holdout with the Cincinnati Bengals. He will be sidelined at least a few weeks.

The first-round draft pick sustained a small fracture in his left foot during a noncontact drill Tuesday, his third workout with the team. Coach Marvin Lewis said the injury won’t require surgery.

Smith was the sixth overall pick, and the Bengals expected him to start at right tackle. His contract impasse forced him to miss the first three preseason games and cost him the chance to win a starting job in training camp. He agreed to a four-year deal Sunday.

Report: Andre Smith to miss only 7-10 days
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 1, 2009 6:38 PM ET
Bengals rookie tackle Andre Smith reportedly broke his foot at practice Tuesday, but not all breaks are created equal.

NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports that Smith will be off the field for only 7-10 days, and should be fully back in the mix within two weeks.

Smith reportedly suffered a stress fracture in his left foot, according to La Canfora's sources. It sounds like Smith's status for Week One is still in serious doubt, but the Bengals have avoided a major injury.

Smith's injury is reportedly similar to one suffered by Broncos running back LaMont Jordan, who missed a week of practice. Of course, Smith will have to prove when he returns that he can last more than two days without getting hurt again.
