News and Notes from Day 1 of minicamp

Coach Marvin Lewis said defensive tackle Sam Adams was rehabbing from an injury. Adams did not practice with the team but worked with trainers and rode a stationary bike on the sideline. Lewis would not say what was wrong with Adams. Adams declined comment when approached about why he was not practicing. ... Tailback Chris Perry, tackle Adam Kieft, long-snapper Brad St. Louis and wide receiver Chris Henry did not practice. ... Center Eric Ghiaciuc returned to practice. ... Cornerback Deltha O'Neal (knee) left the afternoon practice, and Lewis said O'Neal needed more work on the side before rejoining the team. ... Quarterback Carson Palmer ended up leading the team in 11-on-11 team drills at the end of the afternoon practice. ... Second-year linebacker Odell Thurman was not on the field today, and Lewis said Thurman was excused from minicamp for personal reasons.

Mark:

What's Ben Wilkerson's status?

Also, I read somewhere a few months ago that Dennis Weathersby is thinking about making a comeback. Any thoughts on who he might sign with? Thanks.

Please tell me that Sam Adams has a legitimate injury, even if non-football in nature. Please don't tell me that, after signing a big contract, he let himself go and is fat and out of shape.

That's another type of "character issue."
