Bengals LB Keith Rivers set for surgery on jaw

 

Published 10/20/2008 at FOXSports.com News for NFL

Bengals rookie linebacker Keith Rivers was scheduled for surgery Monday to set his broken jaw, an injury that will end his season. Rivers was hurt when Steelers receiver Hines Ward leveled him with a straight-up block during Pittsburgh's 38-10 victory on Sunday. The first-round draft pick walked off the field without assistance and went for tests that detected the fracture. After watching a video of the play on Monday, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis didn't take issue with the rattling block. (link)
