Pollack out; Chad not cleared to practice
EARLY INJURY REPORT:
CHAD & JEREMI SIDELINED
ALONG WITH DORSEY
===INJURY UPDATE: Wide receiver Chad Johnson (ankle), tailback DeDe Dorsey (hamstring) and fullback Jeremi Johnson (weight) were not cleared to practice by the Bengals medical staff on Monday morning. All three attended the opening practice, but weren’t allowed to participate.===
David Pollack still hasn’t retired. Maybe now he’ll inch closer to that final decision.
The outside linebacker, whose rehab from a devastating neck injury is ongoing, was placed on the Reserve/Did Not Report list on Monday morning, a half hour before the Cincinnati Bengals took the field at Georgetown (Ky.) College on opening day of training camp.
The move allowed the Bengals to sign rookie cornerback Jonathan Zenon to a one year deal.
Zenon, a non-drafted college free agent from LSU, originally signed with the New York Jets, who waived him. He becomes the 80th man on the roster.
Placing Pollack on a reserve list is believed to be strictly procedural since head coach Marvin Lewis told the media in the offseason that Pollack’s intention is to retire, and that the team was moving on without Pollack in their plans.
The only player not here is first-round draft pick Keith Rivers, who is slated to be the Bengals’ starting weakside linebacker.
