Receiver Chris Henry
rejoins bruised Bengals
With their two Pro Bowl receivers hurt, the Cincinnati Bengals brought back troubled receiver Chris Henry on Tuesday. Henry, 25, must serve a four-game suspension from the NFL — his third such punishment — before he can fully rejoin the team. The move was stunning in light of coach Marvin Lewis' statement before training camp opened that the team had permanently parted ways with the receiver, who has been arrested five times since he joined the Bengals in 2005 out of West Virginia. The Bengals changed their minds after Pro Bowl receiver Chad Johnson sprained his left shoulder during a 27-10 preseason loss to Detroit on Sunday night, leaving his status uncertain. Pro Bowl receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh has missed both preseason games with a hamstring injury. The Bengals released Henry after he was accused of punching a college student and breaking his car window with a beer bottle in March. Bengals President Mike Brown also cut ties with Henry, saying he could no longer be with the team. ''His conduct can no longer be tolerated,'' Brown had said.
PATRIOTS CUT POLLARD — The New England Patriots released veteran tight end Marcus Pollard. They signed rookie tight end Tyson DeVree, who joins Benjamin Watson, David Thomas and Stephen Spach at that position. Pollard signed April 23 after being cut by Seattle, where he spent one season. He played his first 10 seasons with Indianapolis and two with Detroit. ''It wasn't really going to work out here the way that we had hoped and he had hoped,'' coach Bill Belichick said.
FALCONS RELEASE HORN — Joe Horn, released by the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday after the team couldn't trade the veteran receiver, said he is relieved he can pursue a job with another team. The Falcons will receive no return on the guaranteed $2.5 million salary in 2008 for Horn, 36. Horn said he wished he could have produced better numbers for team owner Arthur Blank. ''I was here and couldn't make it happen,'' he said. ''It's kind of sad for me leaving.''
TITANS CUT PUNTER — The Tennessee Titans waived punter Josh Miller on Tuesday and replaced him on the roster by signing defensive back Tuff Harris. Miller, 38, took part in Tuesday's special teams session before being released. He signed with the Titans on April 25 and spent all but the final two practices of training camp with the team. He was their second punter on the roster, helping veteran punter Craig Hentrich.
PEYTON AT PRACTICE — Peyton Manning attended his first practice with the Indianapolis Colts since he had knee surgery just over five weeks ago. Manning accompanied the Colts to their first practice session at the new Lucas Oil Stadium on Tuesday. He wore a team jersey and shorts, with an elastic band around his left knee. He seemed to walk without much problem. Manning had surgery July 14 to remove an infected bursa sac.
HASSELBECK SORE — A day after he returned to the practice field, Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is again dealing with a balky back. He left Tuesday morning's practice after about 45 minutes when his back began to tighten up. He returned in the afternoon to do some stretching with the team, but walked off the field and back into the locker room. Hasselbeck did not play in last Saturday's preseason game against Chicago, a 29-26 victory in overtime. Backup Charlie Frye played the entire game.
HURT TOE — Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian has a sore toe on his right foot that has limited him in practice for the past week. The injury kept him out of Saturday's exhibition game at Baltimore. After Tuesday's practice, Berrian said his condition is ''a day to day thing'' and that he's not sure whether he'll play Saturday against Pittsburgh.
POLAMALU WARMS UP — Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu participated in a full practice for the first time this preseason on Tuesday. Polamalu, who has been selected to the past four Pro Bowls, was placed on the physically unable to perform list on the first day of training camp. He had injured his hamstring before arriving and has only worked out lightly on his own.
