Monday morning practice notes

The Bengals went back to practice this morning for two hours after the off day Sunday. ... The Bengals signed former Brigham Young running back Curtis Brown, released before camp by the Raiders. He is the all-time leading rusher in BYU history with more than 3,200 yards.

Quarterback Carson Palmer was back to work, too, after sitting out the mock game. Palmer is wearing the brace on his left knee that he wore during 2006. It is nothing unusual, he said. Nothing is wrong. He is going to wear it during the season and is starting to get used to it again.

Wide receiver Reggie McNeal continues to get a lot of work as the No. 3 receiver and had a couple of dozen balls thrown his direction this morning. ... Linebacker Earl Everett and running back Quincy Wilson both practiced this morning, after having missed some practice time.

Left tackle Levi Jones said he has "good days and bad days" in his knee rehab. He has not practiced during training camp.

This team had better find out what is wrong with Levi because it WILL NOT win with out him.

A team with a 2nd Year Right Tackle, a 4th year guard, and a 3rd year center will not win a thing.

This team HAS to have LEVI....maybe someone should start asking some TOUGH questions?

I was just wondering if Reggie has been throwing at all this year in camp? I would love to see him throw a bomb on an option this year. Maybe against the steelers... thats how they killed us.

So Levi signs a huge contract and then has a knee problem. The knee problem, which many OL have, seems to be worse then anyone is leading on. How bad is this knee problem?

Call me crazy, but a knee problem in a guy that young, that he had surgery on that long ago, and then he still can't practice on it???? Doesn't sound good to me. I mean Carson tore his knee to shreds in January and started the opener for crying out loud. I hate to say it, but I see Levi not being a factor at all this year. I see another surgery in his future. And I see Whitworth getting schooled at LT, and Carson getting hit. Not a good picture.
