Wide receiver Chris Henry was suspended by the NFL on Thursday for four games but may play the final 12 games of the regular season for any team that signs him. Henry was released by Cincinnati in April after his fifth arrest. Commissioner Roger Goodell had suspended Henry indefinitely following his latest arrest. The charges against him on that arrest were subsequently dropped. The 25-year-old player, one of a number of Bengals in trouble with the law the past few seasons, then applied for reinstatement.

Chad Johnson has reported to the Bengals' training camp as promised, according to an Associated Press report on Sunday. Johnson didn?t answer questions as he carried his belongings into an apartment at the team?s training complex. A few days earlier, he told the AP that he will continue his boycott of Cincinnati-area media.

Chad Johnson and Marvin Lewis have apparently mended their relationship that appeared to be beyond disrepair over the offseason. "It's time to play football and get ready to play football. That's what he does," Lewis said at the club's pre-training camp luncheon in the East Club Lounge at Paul Brown Stadium on Tuesday. "He's a very, very good player. I'm excited for him to cleanse his mind and get back to having fun."

The Bengals improved their receiving corps Tuesday, signing wide receiver Mario Urrutia to a four-year deal, as reported by Yahoo.com. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Chad Johnson said he'll report on time for the Cincinnati Bengals' training camp next weekend, but his surgically repaired ankle will probably prevent him from fully participating. Johnson also said in a phone interview Monday that he wants to move on from his failed attempt to maneuver a trade.

Disgruntled Bengals' receiver Chad Johnson wants to be cautious about returning to the field after having ankle surgery in June, according to Pro Football Talk. "My ankle wouldn?t be able to take the pounding yet," Johnson told Bengals.com. "I?ll be OK. I?m not worried. This is a marathon, not a sprint." He's aware that he might not be ready ten days from now when the Bengals open camp. "I?m going to make sure I don?t come back too fast," Johnson said. "I don?t want to overdo it. Because when I go out there, I?m going to forget it and just go 100 percent. They?re going to have to pull me out."

If wide receiver Chris Henry is reinstated by the NFL after having his legal issues dropped, there is a chance that he could return to the Bengals, according to ESPN.com. "We have interest in several teams, including Cincinnati," agent Marvin Frazier said Thursday. "Going back to the Bengals is possible," Henry said. "I wouldn't mind it happening because I loved playing in Cincinnati. I got real close with all the guys out there and I planned on being out there for a long time. I really had a good time playing ball out there in Ohio."

The Bengals' efforts to sign their draft picks in time for the first training camp practice two weeks from Monday got underway with an agreement for fifth-rounder Jason Shirley and, maybe, an understanding to get things started with first-rounder Keith Rivers.
