Bengals cornerback Corey Tindal was a victim in an armed robbery on Monday in Huntington, West Virginia, according to the Herald-Dispatch.

Tindal who earned a workout with the Bengals after the NFL Draft and then signed with the team as an undrafted free agent this May, faces an uphill climb to make the 53-man roster this fall.

Per the Herald-Dispatch, Tindal was at a Super 8 Motel playing poker with another man and the two suspects with more than $4,000 in the room. Sometime around 1:00 a.m., one of the two suspects pointed a semi-automatic pistol at Tindal and the other man.

The suspect reportedly hit Tindal twice on the top of his head with the barrel of the pistol and asked for the money. "Lay down and give me all the money," the Herald-Dispatch reported the suspect as saying.

Tindal and the other man only knew the suspects by nicknames and reportedly played cards with them the day prior to the incident as well. The incident report states the suspects are believed to be from Detroit, Michigan.

According to the Herald-Dispatch, the suspects got away with $2,400 in cash, three cell phones and a set of rental car keys. Tindal and the other man will reportedly not face charges for gambling.

Tindal attended Marshall University, in Huntington West Virginia and left after his junior season to pursue his NFL dreams. In only his junior season, Tindal finished fifth on the team in tackles with three sacks, two interceptions and a team-high 13 pass breakups. Tindal registered 31 breakups in his career with three interceptions and five sacks.
