Shaka Heyward Injury: Sidelined for weeks

Heyward suffered a hairline fracture to his fibula during Sunday's 39-38 loss to the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Heyward has played 137 total snaps (130 on special teams, seven on defense) over the Bengals' first eight games this season, recording 10 total tackles. Now that he's expected to be sidelined for approximately four weeks, Cincinnati's special-teams unit will likely feel his absence.
