| 30th August, 2005 - 1:50 pm |  ESPN - Wide receiver Peter Warrick, the fourth player selected in the 2000 draft, was apprised Tuesday morning by the Cincinnati Bengals that he will be released later in the day as the club reduces its roster to the mandatory 65-player limit.
The release of Warrick, who appeared in only four games in 2004 because of leg and shin injuries, was not altogether surprising. The five-year veteran missed much of camp as he rehabilitated from his injuries and appeared in just one of Cincinnati's three preseason contests.
At various times in camp, coach Marvin Lewis hinted broadly that he felt Warrick might not have been as diligent as necessary in his rehabilitation. Lewis noted to ESPN.com in a training camp visit that the Bengals staff, at that point, was preparing as though Warrick might not be available.
Certainly there were less than subtle hints that Warrick would not be a part of the team's plans for 2005, particularly given the Bengals' new-found depth at wide receiver. [READ] |
