Darqueze Dennard's summer mission simple: Stay healthy

CINCINNATI -- Darqueze Dennard has started two training camps with the Cincinnati Bengals since they drafted him in the first round in 2014.

He hasn't finished either of them.

First, it was a hip injury, suffered in a preseason game against the New York Jets, that forced him to miss the latter half of his rookie-year camp. Twelve months later, a preseason groin injury forced him to enter the 2015 regular season similarly hobbled.

Ahead of his third preseason in Cincinnati, the cornerback hopes the injury bug doesn't attack for another year.
