The Facts: Sanu, who missed the last six games with a stress fracture in his left foot, says he's back running routes after being cleared in early February. "It's great. It feels good. I've been working out and running," Sanu said this week. "I've been running routes for a while and it feels good."

Diehards Line:According to Bengals.com's Geoff Hobson, it's believed Sanu, a third-round pick out of Rutgers, broke the fifth metatarsal, the long bone on the outside of the foot that connects to the little toe, when he went down in the Thursday practice before the Dec. 2 win in San Diego. Sanu not only caught the first four touchdown passes of his career in the previous three games, but he displayed plenty of versatility in his rookie season throwing a 73-yard touchdown on his first NFL pass, running for two first downs on third down and getting half of his 16 catches (154 yards) on third down. Whether he returns to a starting role or not (Marvin Jones will be in the mix), Sanu's versatility should keep him plenty busy this season... Worth noting: Sanu's getting ready for the call from Dallas, where the receivers may be headed to do some informal throwing with QB Andy Dalton in the next few months. "We're going to get together at some point but we haven't hooked up yet," Sanu said.
