Bengals RB Leonard diagnosed with mid-foot sprain
Football Betting Lines
08/12/2010 -
Georgetown, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cincinnati Bengals and running back
Brian Leonard received some good news on his injured left foot, as tests ruled
out a season-ending situation.
Leonard suffered what was originally diagnosed as a sprained foot in Sunday's
Hall of Fame Game -- an eventual 16-7 loss to Dallas. The diagnosis was re-
confirmed as a mid-foot sprain with fears of possible torn ligaments or a
Lisfranc injury ruled out.
The fourth-year pro was quoted on the team's website as saying he hopes to be
back after the first couple of regular season games.
The 26-year-old ran for 84 yards and caught 30 passes for an additional 217
yards in 14 games last year for Cincinnati serving almost exclusively as the
team's third-down back.
The Rutgers product spent his first two seasons with St. Louis and has 394
rushing yards and 400 receiving yards on 60 catches in 32 career games. He has
yet to find the end zone as a pro.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
