Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert is once again battling a significant back problem.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Wednesday that Eifert is currently considering a third back procedure that would keep him out for the remainder of the season.

Eifert is one of the league’s more gifted tight ends, but he has been significantly hindered by his inability to remain on the field. He has appeared in just 24 games over the past four seasons, and a back injury that plagued him at the start of this season still hasn’t gone away.
