Henry taken off on golf cart; has groin injury
Wide receiver Chris Henry was taken off the practice field on a gold cart midway through practice this afternoon. Coach Marvin Lewis said Henry was "fine" and left pratice early to get early treatment.
After practice, though, practice squad wide receiver Glenn Holt stayed out late with backup quarterback Anthony Wright doing extra work on routes.
The Bengals are down to four healthy wide receivers: Chad Johnson, Kelley Washington, Reggie McNeal and Henry, presuming he's healthy.
The other receivers are injured and have not played in the first two games: Antonio Chatman (groin) is doubtful, and T.J. Houshmandzadeh (heel) is questionable. McNeal was signed Tuesday from the Bengals practice squad. Tab Perry (hip) was ruled out today by Lewis, who said Perry would be on crutches for a period of weeks.
6:31 p.m. update: Henry was added to the official injury report this afternoon as probable with a groin injury.

Post a Comment*Am I the only one that has a hard time believing Marvin Lewis when he talks about injuries?
Bengal 43: It is almost incumbent on NFL coaches today to prevaricate in the discussion of player injuries. A very good example is this week's injury report for the Indianapolis Colts. Twenty-one players are listed, more than one-third of the roster. Among them is Dwight Freeney, who has a sore butt. Dungy couldn't or wouldn't say that in his Wednesday news conference. But do you think for a moment that Freeney will sit out against the Jags on Sunday? He is officially listed as questionable, meaning at least in theory that there is a fifty percent chance he will not play Sunday. Dungy feels he got burned on Vinatieri's first injury and so this year has altered the Colts' injury reporting. The whole league is in Belichick imitation mode, like last year when Brady appeared on the Patriots injury report for fifteen weeks and missed no games. Marvin would not be doing his job if he were completely forthright about injuries.
