[Bengals] Bengals LB Keith Rivers Comments On Hines Ward Hit

Speaking out for the first time about the hit that broke his jaw, Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Keith Rivers made it clear Wednesday he’s looking forward to his next game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Hines Ward. “I mean, I would have done it,” he said. “Honestly, whatever. It is what it is. You know, you reap what you sow. That’s what happens. What goes around, comes around. We’ll see what happens.” If the injury wasn’t so severe, Rivers said he would have done everything possible to be back on the field for the rematch in Pittsburgh on Nov. 20. “If I was able to—if I didn’t go on (injured reserve)—I’d do everything in my will,” he said. “Shoot some cortisone in my face and I’ll go. Whatever.” Reminded that the AFC North teams play twice a year, so he’ll have plenty of chances to face Ward again, Rivers responded, “It’s all good.”
