Hope it isn't too serious. Cam Sample is quietly a good player for us. Will need to add an End if this is a serious injury especially with Trey 
and Sam out getting ready for the opener.

That's got to be one hell of a cramp.

Hubbard walked over there and said "You're in my spot"

Tom Pelissaro is reporting that Trey Hendrickson's injury is a bruised chest

Mims says he is fine and will be back at camp tomorrow

[*pally*]

The good news is this means it wasn't his knee

Cam Sample is riding on a scooter with his left knee on the pad through the Bengals locker room right now.

Sample was carted off the field today at practice #Bengals

Lame. I feel bad for him. Hate seeing guys get hurt in their contract years.

Good thing they put new rules out and you can IR a guy before final cuts and still activate them later in the year.

Hopefully it’s nothin major and he is back before week one. If it is major hopefully he can make a triumphant return sometime during the season.

2. When the QB drills begin, Logan Wilson makes a point to catch passes. His 11 INTs lead all LBs since he entered the NFL.
“It’s a good time to work on my ball skills,” he said. “You only get so many opportunities to catch them, so you’ve got to make sure you take advantage.” pic.twitter.com/F0GAWLKBOj

4. On the first play of the 11-on-11 period, Joe Burrow lofted a 65-yard TD pass to Tee Higgins.
It was one of several catches for Tee who had his best day of camp so far.
“I just had to get my legs back,” Tee said. “I missed OTAs, so I’m finally getting back into the groove.” pic.twitter.com/VjSf95HNGr

5. Burrow wasn’t happy with the first half of practice, but the offense finished strong, including this third-and-goal TD pass to Andrei Iosivas.
“Andrei is going to have a big year,” Burrow said. “I’m really excited about how he’s coming along.” pic.twitter.com/WDApWidLKg

I saw a report that said Burton went out today, but nothing posted here

ESPN had a nice article about country music start Luke Combs showing up to the Bengals practice today.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40702894/cincinnati-bengals-luke-combs-nfl-practice

"Combs stood and watched the bulk of a hot and humid practice session in downtown Cincinnati, one day before his scheduled back-to-back shows at Paycor Stadium.

Naturally, the multiplatinum artist drew a crowd on the Bengals' sideline during a break in drills. Wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, defensive end Sam Hubbard and even team president Mike Brown were among those who met and greeted Combs."

'Linebacker Joe Bachie has been a massive Combs fan for nearly a decade and had the artist on his wedding playlist. When he saw Combs on the sideline, hanging out, Bachie immediately knew he had to grab a photo before the team started the next period of practice."

Good news on #Bengals rookie WR Jermaine Burton: I’m told the former Alabama star and 3rd-round pick suffered only an “ankle tweak” and left practice merely as a precaution. “He’ll be fine,” said a source. pic.twitter.com/eobqYeKOee

Our rookie safety Anthony has turned heads. Getting the first int of Burrow and 3rd INT overall this camp.

Anderson may be in trouble, as Anthony has also played CB in college.  The versatility to play that spot in an emergency is big for those backup/bubble guys

no official update on Cam Sample

On the rehab field: Burton, Ivey, Tufele, Maxwell, Hubbard, Trent Brown, D’Ante Smith.

Shedrick has shined too and has gained a lot of momentum. Burrow has spoke highly of him.

[BoomerFan]

So with Sample out and Hubbard on the practice field who has been getting reps at DE?

Cannot teach speed, Shed has plenty of it....

That was one hell of a pass by Burrow on the run though, great pass and shows how special of a QB he is.

Myles Murphy has been getting the majority as expected with these guys out. I don't know who the other End is though...
