CINCINNATI — Bengals captain Andrew Whitworth got permission to attend rookie camp on Saturday and mentor the linemen who were taken in the draft. He also spent some time on the sideline clarifying his remarks to ownership.
The 10th-year veteran talked to owner Mike Brown and other members of his family about comments expressing frustration over his uncertain status with the team. Whitworth was upbeat as he left the field when practice ended.
"I think they know that I love this place and I want to be here, and they know what I am to this organization and I know what they are to me," said Whitworth, with his 4-year-old and 3-year-old sons following him around.
