Bengals RB Leonard diagnosed with mid-foot sprain

08/12/2010 -
Georgetown, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cincinnati Bengals and running back
Brian Leonard received some good news on his injured left foot, as tests ruled
out a season-ending situation.
Leonard suffered what was originally diagnosed as a sprained foot in Sunday's
Hall of Fame Game -- an eventual 16-7 loss to Dallas. The diagnosis was re-
confirmed as a mid-foot sprain with fears of possible torn ligaments or a
Lisfranc injury ruled out.
The fourth-year pro was quoted on the team's website as saying he hopes to be
back after the first couple of regular season games.
The 26-year-old ran for 84 yards and caught 30 passes for an additional 217
yards in 14 games last year for Cincinnati serving almost exclusively as the
team's third-down back.
The Rutgers product spent his first two seasons with St. Louis and has 394
rushing yards and 400 receiving yards on 60 catches in 32 career games. He has
yet to find the end zone as a pro.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
