Trey is also apparently injured no specifics but he is also day to day

Today will be a rest day for Wilson, Hilton, and some of the OL

I dont think there is anything wrong with Hendrickson.  He is just pouting like Chase when he still has two years left on his contract and wants more money.

Possibly, but that wouldn't mesh with him showing up and participating at OTAs, mini-camp, and day 1.

If I were to guess: I'd say he's "dinged" but is in no hurry to return to the field

Agree, I don't think Trey is pouting after he shown up and said all the right things at OTA's.

Happy Hubbard's injury isn't serious, that scared me a little bit. Myles Murphy is going to get a lot of snaps with these guy's banged up.

 Zac said he was injuried on day 1...when he did partcipate

2. Running back Zack Moss doesn’t mess around when he gets the football. Whether it’s a run or catch, he’s looking to square his shoulders and sprint upfield.

4. Mike Gesicki is a red zone weapon. He’s caught 21 NFL touchdown passes (including playoffs) and 19 have been in the red zone.
“He can move,” said Mike Hilton. “He moves a lot better than a typical 6’4 or 6’5 tight end and his catch radius is crazy. He makes it difficult.” pic.twitter.com/Jphe8H4k7k

5. Coach Taylor says communication on defense has been sharp, thanks to safeties Geno Stone and Vonn Bell.
“That’s not a knock on anybody,” Zac said. “When you add two veteran safeties that have played a ton of NFL football on the back end, that’s what shifts everything forward.” pic.twitter.com/PVWFB982kj

"Looking to square his shoulders and sprint upfield".... Man, I've been waiting to hear those words for a while. Loved Jow Mixon, but he tried to hard to be LeVeonn Bell instead of who he really was, which is a downhill runner.

Everybody kept moaning even after signing Rankins that we needed a DT. They didn’t sign him for more they were paying DJ (26 million) to sit him. Yes they drafted McKinley Jackson for short yardage & goal line. Gesicki and Burton and the emerging Isovias gives the kind of vibes of the best WR group in the NFL. Thats not hyperbole. Gesicki Redzone out of the slot is filthy

Who said anything about sitting Rankins? 

DT room is still weak IMO. Same with corner. 

I am not sold that this defense is going to be good this year.

I don;t believe ZT would just be making the issue up with Trey and would lie that Trey had minor issue Day 1 to cover for him being out.... not to say maybe Trey is slow walking the injury, as for Chase seems totally contract issue.

It is a bit hyperbole  at this point since Burton is a rookie with nothing to show on the field yet, Isovias has 15 catches to his name vs losing Boyd.  As for Gesicki he has something to prove, has never started more than 10 games in his career, but he has shown times of being effective especially in the red zone and will probably be more slot than on the line especially since he is subpar blocker.  Still alot of questions with our WR/TE core outside of Chase and Higgins, I think by week 4 we will have a much better feel where this group is

So true, really think Zack Moss fits this Offense perfectly and could certainly be an upgrade over Mixon as both a runner because of Mixon's
hesitation and especially as a blocker in pass pro where he already is an upgrade. Chase Brown certainly made huge strides this Offseason as
a route runner and pass catcher. This could be a really good RB duo.

Also loved what I heard about Vonn Bell and Geno Stone and the communication being sharp. This was the biggest reason our Defense was 
as bad as it was last year. Poor communication along with poor tackling.

[*pally*]

Getting Vonn back may end up being be one of the best off-season moves

Lou Anarumo on Bell and Stone inserted as veteran safeties this camp: “Communication has improved 10-fold.” pic.twitter.com/4E9g84VbSq

Glad I can post again, after 2 weeks lol.

Trey looks SUPER fast for someone that size.

[BengalsLUFC]

Either Burrow is on for an MVP level season and Jake Browning is gonna be worth a 2nd round pick next season or I’m starting to worry about our defence a tiny bit.

I know it’s camp and it means nothing but the first few days defence usually comes out on top and from everything I’ve read the offence have been carving them up.

The improvement in blocking makes me feel better for Joe's safety already.

Great updates! We are in for a great season, if not, it will be fun until week 10!

2. It was the first day in full pads and there was even a period with live tackling near the end of practice.
“Everyone got excited on the sideline, so it was great,” said Lou Anarumo. “We’re going to play tackle football when it’s real, so at some point, you’ve got to do it.” pic.twitter.com/dxG87KNHIi

4. With Trent Brown likely out for a few more days, Amarius Mims is banking reps next to Alex Cappa.
“I’m in the huddle with him, I’m beside him on the field, and I’m just picking his brain,” said Mims. “He’s won a Super Bowl and knows what it takes, and that will help me.” pic.twitter.com/D4Qs5h1yFv

5. Mike Gesicki catches 160 balls on the jugs machine every day.
“In the offseason, I actually do 200,” he said. “I have a machine at home and my wife shoots them to me. It’s 160 here because my routine includes 20 high and 20 low balls and that requires moving it up and down.” pic.twitter.com/u6Gjtn6M2k

Sounds like the starters did well in the red zone drills at least.

Bengals Camp Day 6 ?

? Chase sits OUT: Hendrickson, Hubbard, T. Brown

? I had Burrow 14/19 in 11-on-11. Starting defense did well in 7-on-7 red zone.

? Charlie Jones stood out. Six total catches during team periods.
