Cincinnati Bengals Legend Boomer Esiason Shares Contract Projection for Trey Hendrickson as Training Camp Holdout Continues
Multiple players and coaches reflected more concern about Stewart’s absence than Hendrickson’s given the rookie’s inexperience compared to Hendrickson entering Year 9.
OK, so the first week of training camp was kind of a dud. Leaguewide, the first four practices were quick and pad-less, as mandated by NFL rules. The league’s medical advisers determined that a slower ramp-up to full contact in training camp will lead to fewer groin and hamstring pulls.
Bengals teammates tried to distract Evan McPherson in practice Friday, but it didn't work, which is good news for more than just the kicker.
“Simmons says wider receiver Charlie Jones (their top punt returner) and Jermaine Burton are going to see time as a kick-return tandem. In the second year of the new kickoff rule, Simmons is looking for sure handers. He anticipates opposing kickers to spray the ball more to force returns and take fewer touchbacks.”
The Bengals announced in March that they signed Lucas Patrick as an unrestricted free agent to a one-year deal.
CINCINNATI – Just two days in, the dog days of training camp have arrived for the Cincinnati Bengals.
