The Facts: Via Paul Dehner of the Cincinnati Enquirer, McCarron said he was getting an MRI to determine the severity of a left wrist injury that happened on the overtime fumble that cost the Bengals the game. "I hope not," McCarron said, when asked if it would keep him out this week against the Ravens. "Going to wait until [Tuesday], but hopefully not."

Diehards Line: The Bengals still don’t know if starter Andy Dalton’s broken thumb will be healed in time for a potential first-round game, since they lost their best chance at a bye week last night. And because of that, McCarron was feeling guilt along with pain. “It’s my fault,” he said. “I told the team and the offensive guys that. I told [center Russell Bodine] that. I looked up to see the coverage and the snap caught me by surprise. I take the blame. It was my fault. ... It slipped through my hands and hit my rib protector and bounced off. It’s my fault. Simple as that.” Otherwise, as PFT notes, McCarron played an efficient enough game, going 22-of-35 for 200 yards and a touchdown. Now, if he can’t go in the regular season finale, the Bengals will be down to Keith Wenning, who spent last year on the Ravens practice squad.
