Bengals tight end Jermaine Gresham is going to get a second opinion on the injured toe that caused him to miss Sunday’s win over the Browns.

But there’s an obvious need for some bruised feelings to heal as well.

According to Alex Marvez of FOX Sports, the condition of Gresham’s toe has caused his relationship with the team to become contentious, with some with the team expecting him to play after his pre-game workout. Instead, he was inactive, which led to an unusual scene after a big division win.

The soon-to-be free agent is apparently offended at the suggestion he could have played but didn’t. Then after the game, he interrupted coach Marvin Lewis’ post-game interview with the team’s flagship radio station, to confront host Dave Lapham about saying he “quit” during the pre-game show.

The Bengals ran the ball well enough yesterday it might not matter, but they need Gresham on board if they are to make a playoff run. With Tyler Eifert on IR, he’s their main receiving threat at the position.

And he’s apparently salty about some in-house things, which makes his medical checkup worth watching.
