Tuesday, July 31, 2007 3:33 AM GEORGETOWN, Ky. • Recap: Tight end Sean Mulcahy hurt his neck during a blocking drill in the morning practice and was taken off the field in an ambulance. A team spokesman said Mulcahy had full movement in his arms and legs and was joking with medical personnel at the Kentucky Trauma Center in nearby Lexington. He was back at camp last night and is expected to meet with team doctors today. ... The team waived cornerback Greg Brooks, a fourth-year player from Southern Mississippi who had failed his physical. ... Quarterback Carson Palmer spent the morning working with the strength coaches and rejoined team practice last night. • Day's best: Linebacker Eric Henderson, a converted defensive end, showed his athletic skills with a leaping interception.
• Position battle: Fourth-year player Stacy Andrews (6 feet 7, 342 pounds) and second-year player Andrew Whitworth (6-7, 339) are vying for the starting left guard spot. Andrews has been working with the first team, though Whitworth might be the better player. Whitworth might be called upon to fill in at left tackle if knee problems continue to plague Levi Jones. • Rookie watch: Safeties Marvin White (fourth round) and Chinedum Ndukwe (seventh) are being examined closely for roles on special teams, not to mention as backups on defense. ... RB Stan White, a college free agent from Ohio State, could stick on special teams. ... RB Kenny Irons is staying after practice to work with running backs coach Jim Anderson on a variety of skill sets, including his footwork on quick pitches from the quarterback. • Itinerary: One practice, from 3-5 p.m. • You're invited: Friday will be the perfect time for an overnight trip to Georgetown if you want to maximize your training camp experience. The team will hold an intrasquad scrimmage from 6:30-9 p.m. Friday, with the Black-Orange Mock Game from 1-3 p.m. Saturday. • Quotable: "It has been a dream since I've been a little kid. The opportunity is right here in front of me now. I've got to snatch it." -- middle linebacker Ahmad Brooks, who signed with the team last year out of the supplemental draft and impressed coaches with his work in the offseason Columbus Dispatch http://www.dispatch.com/dispatch/content/sports/stories/2007/07/31/bengals_camp0731.ART_ART_07-31-07_C6_2S7EO9L.html
