The Bengals held their first practice of training camp Friday, but they really won’t begin to practice until they put on the pads Monday.
So there was a lot of this Friday before 1,350 on the practice fields at Paul Brown Stadium:
Wide receivers coach James Urban had his arm draped around rookie wide receiver Tyler Boyd after one of the few plays where the ball hit the ground. Boyd didn’t appear to get to the right depth as an Andy Dalton pass sailed over his head.
“Muscle memory,” Urban told Boyd.
