11/6: Locker room notes

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:13:34 -0500

Everyone practiced again on Friday which will make the leadup to Sunday’s announcement of those inactive even more interesting. On the injury report, offensive tackle Andre Smith (foot) and safety Roy Williams (forearm) are questionable while defensive tackle Tank Johnson (foot), safety Tom Nelson (shoulder), fullback Jeremi Johnson (knee) and running back Bernard Scott (knee) are [...]

Practice Report: Baltimore Ravens (4-3) at Cincinnati Bengals (5-2)

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:52:16 -0500

Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evening, we'll (TRY TO) update the practice/injury chart leading up to Sunday's game. The chart is pretty self-explanatory. If the player is listed as out, they're out for the game. If they did not participate, they didn't practice. If they were limited, then they only participated during a portion of practice (typically means missing 11-on-11 drills). If the player is listed as full participation, it simply means that they practiced fu...

11/4 From the locker room

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:52:28 -0500

Offensive tackle Andre Smith (foot) and running back Bernard Scott (knee) were listed as having full participation in practice while safety Roy Williams (forearm), fullback Jeremi Johnson (knee) and safety Tom Nelson (shoulder) were limited. It is likely that everyone will be available for Sunday’s game. Smith, who has missed the last two months, could see [...]

Report: Bengals signed Fui Vakapuna off the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:26:34 -0500

Even though Jeremi Johnson is working through a knee injury he suffered against the Chicago Bears, the Bengals signed fullback Fui Vakapuna off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad, Geoff Hobson writes. Vakapuna will go to the team's 53-man roster, which will require the team to either release/waive a player, or move them to an open spot on the practice squad. Along with Jeremi Johnson and Chris Pressley, Vakapuna was featured on Hard Knocks as a major storyline of whom makes the squ...

Why can't the Bengals have BengalsFest?; updated tickets number is 4,500; a whole lot of Jeremi Johnson

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:33:24 -0500

When you do it for the fans, they respond. I've said it before and I'll say it again, and again, and again. One of the Bengals worst efforts as an organization is their effort to reach out to the fans. I'm not comparing this to other NFL teams; most could be the same way, I don't know. But no other NFL team goes through the same struggles with their fans as the Bengals organization. I say this as RedsFest tickets go on sale. Nearly everyone that's gone to this event s...

Bengals' Bernard Scott and Jeremi Johnson missed Monday's practice

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:01:51 -0500

A slight complaint was generated against the Chicago Bears when Cedric Benson was still playing in the closing minutes of the Bengals 45-10 win last week. Doesn't that just sound good? Rolls off your tongue. 45-10. Yea. Anyway... Some complained that the Bengals kept Benson in to try and achieve a 200-yard rushing milestone, which he fell 11 yards short of accomplishing. Most of the complaining came from national figure heads, but some fans complained. The reality is, we discussed la...

11/2: Back from the bye week

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:04:48 -0500

The Bengals are back from the bye week and are holding a morning practice. RB Bernard Scott (knee) and FB Jeremi Johnson (knee) are not practicing. Johnson was not on the field but Scott was working out on the side rehab field. Not much of a dent was made in ticket sales for Sunday’s game against [...]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers sign fullback Chris Pressley off the Bengals practice squad

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:40:05 -0500

We all liked full back Chris Pressley. He was a hard knocking hitter on Hard Knocks, competing against Fui Vakapuna, J.D Runnels and veteran Jeremi Johnson for the position. Unfortunately for everyone, Jeremi Johnson resumed some resemblance of what he did earlier in his career. As a result, Runnels was let go early. Vakapuna and Pressley were featured on Hard Knocks while nervously sitting around waiting for the call if they made the squad or not. Both were waived. Pressley returned on the...

In the most manly way of saying things, Jeremi Johnson looks good; David Jones tweaked his left ankle

Sat, 01 Aug 2009 14:10:25 -0500

While Brian Leonard was stuffed twice behind the line of scrimmage, Jeremi Johnson had a nice run up the middle, as well scoring (untouched) on a sweep play. It would seem that the Bengals are giving Johnson every chance to make the squad -- and he's looking good doing it. The catch of the practice goes to Laveranues Coles. After Johnathan Joseph tipped the ball, Coles hauled it back in near the sideline and got both feet in for the reception. Third-string cornerback David Jon...

Bengals Bring Back Jeremi Johnson

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:28:17 -0500

The Bengals have re-signed fullback Jeremi Johnson. Johnson, at one time the league’s highest-paid FB and a Pro Bowl alternate, has battled weight and conditioning issues since 2006. Last summer, he showed up at training camp weighing 300 lbs., prompting the team to place him on the physically unable to perform list until he could shed [...]

Bengals Re-sign Daniel Coats

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 16:17:03 -0500

The Cincinnati Bengals have re-signed TE/FB Daniel Coats. Coats, an undrafted free agent originally signed in 2007, played that season at his college position, tight end, and performed reasonably well. However, after FB Jeremi Johnson ate his way off the team last summer, Coats was pressed into ...

Bengals Cut Two Fullbacks

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 21:36:03 -0500

Bengals FB Jeremi Johnson, who the Bengals once made the NFL's richest fullback, was released off injured reserve Wednesday. They also cut fullback...

Bengals Lose Starting FB Johnson for Year

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:35:48 -0500

Bengals starting FB Jeremi Johnson has been placed on IR after suffering a knee injury in practice Monday. Johnson spent much of training camp on the sidelines after he came in overweight. Second-year man Daniel Coats, an undrafted free agent in 2007 who played at tight end last season, and worked at

Bengals Shake Up Depth Chart

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 09:43:13 -0500

As week 2 of training camp gets underway, the Bengals have made some changes to their depth chart. Fullback Jeremi Johnson, still not on the field because of weight-related issues, has been demoted from starter to fourth string. Daniel Coats is the new No. 1 fullback, with former Elder star Bradley Glatthar moving up to No. [...]
