Bengals working out TE's

Re: workouts.

Teams literally work out players every week. It's up to the agents to leak the info out - ideally so other teams can see their client is elsewhere and maybe make a move.

Some workouts are for immediate need: If McCarron ruptured his Achilles that week in practice, they would have needed a QB2 that week.

Some are for "uh oh" scenarios: Like the safeties who came in -- Derron Smith, at that point, hadn't practiced in a while. Who knows, maybe he would've had to go to IR. Or even TE. Hewitt is out for a bit. Uzomah has a knee thing going on. Never know.

Most workouts, however, are for medicals. Guys are in the building, they get to get reviewed, etc. They're basically just running around on air and catching passes. An OL "workout" would basically just be ... mini-camp style? Can't hit anyone.

@ShakeNBlake's research also illustrates a point for the Bengals: guys they likely had high-round grades on that washed out. Why not bring 'em in an get all the info you can?
