Dennard still listed as "limited" but taking part in all drills.

Pat Sims is not practicing but expected to be "ready by Thursday".  That does not sound good for Sunday.  Looks like with DeShawn Williams our ony health back up DT we will see a lot of Hunt playing inside.

Lot of good news here but i don't like Sims being out. Good thing i like DeShawn and it seemed Hunt
played better inside in the Preseason. Still could be much worse though for sure.

I thought that I read a blurb about him practicing today.  No details, just said that he was at practice.

Sims went full was what was reported

I don't consider Dennard as depth.  He is supposed to be the starting slot corner.

And heres another thought,maybe the D-line coach thinks they can fix this guy.So far to me he is not even close to Bengal standards. CUT HIM.GET ME SOMEBODY NOW.

I realize it is all water under the bridge, but who in the draft room thought this guy could play DL in the NFL? Rhetorical, yes.

Hunt was drafted right about where the draft experts said he would be. 

Everyone is a genius when they can use hindsight.

The scouting on Hunt proved pretty accurate - they said his weakness was not bending properly and losing leverage plus concentration but still thought his physical gifts merited a first day pick.
