    GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- Like clockwork, it seems Corey Lynch is always the first guy on the field for any practice. Unreal.

    He's out there tonight. 6:30.

    Out: (a running list, and keep in mind many of these are resting); Michael Myers, Johnathan Joseph, Deltha O'Neal, Ethan Kilmer, Angelo Craig, Rudi Johnson, Levi Jones

    Still no Ndukwe sighting. He told Chick Ludwig he was getting an MRI on his knee.

    Whitworth and Williams doing more snapping with the Qbs.

    Still no Ndukwe sighting.

    * Looks like Antonio Chatman went down with some sort of injury. but he was treated and he's back up and his helmet is on. Guess it was minor, prbably not even worth leaving up here. But hey, I typed it, so there you go. He just return.

    Forgot to mention with all the other stuff today. But IRL drive Jamie Camara was at practice. He's Brazilian, so he had some stuff explained to him. However, he had a more interested audience in kicker Shayne Graham and linebackers coach Jeff FitzGerald.

    I'll tell you what, since coming back, I don't think I've seen a ball thrown near Chad Johnson that's been dropped. The guy has looked incredible. Just incredible. That's got to be good for the Bengals this season.

    What's not good is the absence of Chinedum Ndukwe.

    We've got 1s v. 1s with piped in crowd noise. Looks like some short yaradage situations.

    And just as I wrote that thing about Chad, he and Palmer are on different pages and don't hook up. Never fails.

    Maybe I should write that the Bengals are going to win the Super Bowl.

    Jonathan Fanene just blew up a play. Looked untouched.

    Marvin White coming off in the nickel and Simeon Castille.

    Carson Palmer. He good. Wow. He just made an unbelievable throw to Glenn Holt rolling to his right.

    We have hte second D. Chad Johnson just threw on the breaks and Castille can't catch up and, well, Palmer is unreal. That throw was incredible, right as Johnson came out of his break, on the money.

    Nice play by Pat Sims blowing up a play.

     Chad Johnson was just looked at by a trainer, who was focused on his right ankle, he limped back to the ranks. We'll see if he's back. And he is.

    Back to 11-on-11, they g deep and Leon Hall was on Johnson step for step.

    Goalline work -- Bobbie Willamson the secnd-team line. Carson Palmer, can do quite a bit, I wouldn't run him out there on the naked boot. But that's just me.

    Nice coverage by Ahmad Brooks on a pass to Utecht, I think he got hit harder by Jeff FitzGerald than he has by anyone else in camp this year.

    More "emergency" work with Williams at center. With Stacy out, Whitowrth is at left tackle, Kooistra at left guard, then Andrews at RG and Anderoson at tackle. With that line, a really nice play to Utecht.

    Ryan Fitzpatrick has moxie.

    Shotgun snap by Williams looks more like a punt snap. The next one he gets on target.

    Willie ate up Geathers. Some talking between the two.
