Second-round OL Whitworth signs

GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- Second-round offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth checked into Bengals training camp early this morning and said he had signed his contract.

He is the fourth Bengals draft pick to sign, joining seventh-rounders Bennie Brazell and
Ethan Kilmer and fourth-rounder Domata Peko.

The Bengals are said to have verbal agreements on deals with sixth-rounder Reggie McNeal and fifth-rounder A.J. Nicholson.
Remaining unsigned are first-rounder Johnathan Joseph and third-rounders Frostee Rucker and Ahmad Brooks.

Players were to report between 8-11 a.m. this morning.

Quarterback Carson Palmer drove in with running back Chris Perry.

Palmer, coming off reconstructive knee surgery Jan. 10, said he has never looked forward so
much to training camp -- his fourth in the NFL.
"I'm excited to get going," Palmer said. "I'm excited to see how the knee holds up after 12
practices."

The Bengals will practice tonight from 7-9.
