Practice notes for Friday

GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- Rookie safety Marvin White, the Bengals' fourth-round pick, is believed to have agreed to terms on a four-year contract, ending his one-practice holdout. First-round pick Leon Hall, a cornerback, would be the lone holdout of the seven draft picks.

The Bengals started their practice about 15 minutes early and ended about 15 minutes early, running from 2:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. -- to avoid a heavy rain storm that blew into the area from the north-west. ... Wide receiver Antonio Chatman, who missed almost all of the 2006 season with a groin injury, pulled up on a play with what was described as a strain. ... Offensive lineman Adam Kieft, who has not practiced since suffering a serious knee injury in the 2005 mock game, practiced today for the first time in almost two years.

Quarterback Carson Palmer looked sharp in his first training camp practice. He and Chad Johnson looked especially to be in sync. ... Tailback Rudi Johnson appears to have lost a couple of more pounds and reduced his body fat percentage even further. ... Middle linebacker Ahmad Brooks said after practice that being a starting middle linebacker in the NFL is his boyhood dream and that he is ready and able to start and play 16 games.

Awesome. If Adam Kieft can be out for two years and return to practice as an effective cog in the machine, then why couldn't Odell do the same? - JRG
