A crowd of 1,325 watched the Bengals return to work Monday and those that were wondering why they haven’t been hearing LaFell’s name that much during training camp got a treat on the Paul Brown Stadium practice fields.
Even though he had two more drops, LaFell had probably his best camp practice with one long bomb catch down the middle of the field after separating from cornerback Chris Lewis-Harris and three other grabs that came as the result of getting open over the middle and on the sideline.
Lewis-Harris had just returned from missing a few days of practice for personal reasons and found himself playing with the ones when Dre Kirkpatrick was out with an unknown ailment that won’t appear to take him out of Friday night’s pre-season opener (7:30-Cincinnati’s Channel 12) against the Vikings at PBS.
