WR Washington gets back on field

GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- Wide receiver Kelley Washington returned to practice this morning after missing the first week with a hamstring injury. He knows he is a longshot to make the team at receiver and almost appears to be hoping he's waived, which would allow him to sign with another team.

One quick look at a likely receiving corps for the opener: Chad Johnson, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Chris Henry, Tab Perry, Antonio Chatman and Bennie Brazell; the Bengals might try to put Reggie McNeal on the practice squad, or the converted college quarterback might be the seventh receiver. ... Brazell (leg), Henry (hamstring) and linebackers Brian Simmons (rest) and David Pollack (hamstring) did not practice. Lewis said Pollack is day-to-day.
