Irons might miss start of camp

Fletcher Smith, agent for running back Kenny Irons, the Bengals second-round draft pick, said negotiations are ongoing with the team.

Asked minutes ago if he anticipated whether Irons would sign in time to make the start of training camp, Smith said, "Not sure. Hope so. We'll see what happens."

Since the Bengals signed safety Lamont Thompson on time in 2002, only one second-round pick, offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth in 2006, signed on time to avoid missing a practice.

Between 2003 and 2005, the Bengals drafted offensive lineman Eric Steinbach, defensive backs Keiwan Ratliff and Madieu Williams and linebacker Odell Thurman in the second rounds.

Details on a contract for safety Chinedum Ndukwe are expected to be completed tonight, in time for the seventh-round pick to report on time Thursday.
