Injuries have made a lot of headlines this preseason in the NFL, but the Cincinnati Bengals appear to be getting healthier as they head into the second half of August.
Per our Kevin Goheen from the team's practice Monday night in Springboro, defensive linemen Michael Johnson and Carlos Dunlap along with linebackers Emmanuel Lamur and Vinnie Rey returned from injury and are on the field in action for the club.
Running back BenJarvis Green-Ellis also saw in action after sitting out the Bengals' victory over the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night.
Quarterback Andy Dalton, who tweaked an ankle against the Titans but remained in the game afterward, suited up but saw limited action. Josh Johnson and John Skelton took his place Monday night per our Zac Jackson.
On the flip side, safety George Iloka is not practicing.
Goheen also noted that some of the estimated 6,800 in attendance have long memories as kicker Mike Nugent – who suited up for Springboro's Greater Western Ohio Conference foe Centerville – did not receive an entirely friendly reception from Panthers fans.
#Bengals kicker Mike Nugent, proud Centerville alum, gets a few boos from Springboro faithful at practice. GWOC rivalries never die.
