Odom hurt at morning workout
Defensive end Antwan Odom ended up on crutches with his left foot encased in a mobilizing boot after he suffered a foot and ankle injury at the Cincinnati Bengals opening practice of training camp at Georgetown College.
The media will get an update on Odom and Keith Rivers during head coach Marvin Lewis’ 11:40 a.m. news conference.
The contract status of Rivers, the unsigned rookie top draft-pick, will be discussed.
Odom was carted off the field about 10:30 a.m. and practice was cut short at 10:50 — 20 minutes early — because of rain.
Morning highlights:
—-Placekicker Shayne Graham converted 15 of 16 field goal attempts, topping out at 52 yards. His only miss was a 41-yarder from the left hash.
—-Holder Kyle Larson pulled off an impressive fake field goal, rolling to his right and competing a pass to fullback Daniel Coats.
—-Quarterback Carson Palmer completed two impressive passes — a deep ball down the right sideline to rookie wideout Andre Caldwell and an intermediate, down-the-middle route to tight end Nate Lawrie, who was open in the seam.
—-Backup right cornerback had a nice pass deflection on a perfectly-thrown Palmer pass to an unidentified receiver.
—-Tailback Chris Perry looked quick, fast and strong the entire workout. “I graduated from hungry and made it to greed,” he said.

Well, I guess it was a good thing after all that Odom brought his big screen TV. Now that he’s injured, he’ll have plenty of time to watch it.By Antwan Odom in your face

just the luck of the bengals, if it isn’t a first-day draft pick, it’s a free agent pickup… wonderful…hopefully he’ll be ready by the BAL game… time for Rucker to step up..or Fanene or Henderson…By Steven Ross

First round pick still unsigned, top FA signing hurts ankle first day of training camp, Marvin Lewis hands our shirts saying “physical”. Things sound normal in Bengal-dom.
