So much for Cincinnati Bengals rookie center Billy Price making it back to play the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Price will spend two more weeks in a walking boot before being evaluated again:

Billy Price says he's got two more weeks in boot. No setbacks, just being extra cautious — Geoff Hobson (@GeoffHobsonCin) October 3, 2018

Price suffered an ankle injury during a Week 2 win over the Baltimore Ravens but was seen on the sideline wearing a walking boot. The best-case scenario happened and he avoided surgery, which could have ended his season.

While rehabbing, Price has only been doing work on a stationary bike. He’ll miss at least Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins and Week 6 against the Steelers. The line has performed reasonably well without him, which likely prompted the cautious approach here.

The Ohio State product had previously promised he’d be back in time for a game against the Steelers in Week 6, but it’s clear those around him want a cautious approach instead.

Price won’t get his first pro shot at the Steelers until Week 17.
