CINCINNATI -- The last time Corey Dillon played for the Bengals in 2003, he threw his equipment into the stands before the team eventually traded him.

Decades later, the former running back will be enshrined in the Bengals' Ring of Honor, the team announced Thursday. Cincinnati's all-time leading rusher joins former nose tackle Tim Krumrie as this year's inductees. They will be honored in a ceremony during the team's Week 3 game against the Washington Commanders on "Monday Night Football."

In a news conference, Dillon said he believed that the total body of work was more important than how he left the club.
