MORE: Best Bengals of all time
The Bengals tight end suffered an ankle injury during the game in January, which led to four months of rehab and wearing a boot for most of the summer.
Even though he is recovering from the injury (the boot comes off next week) Eifert said he will never play in another Pro Bowl.
Though the boot is coming off, it’s unclear when Eifert will be ready to take the field. The Bengals have a tough early schedule, with the Jets in Week 1, Steelers in Week 2 and Broncos in Week 3.
