Dylan Fairchild, a third-round selection in this year's NFL Draft out of Georgia, is taking snaps with the starters as a left guard in his first camp.

Cincinnati Bengals Legend Boomer Esiason Shares Contract Projection for Trey Hendrickson as Training Camp Holdout Continues

Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase spoke in a press conference after the second day of training camp at Paycor Stadium.

“Simmons says wider receiver Charlie Jones (their top punt returner) and Jermaine Burton are going to see time as a kick-return tandem. In the second year of the new kickoff rule, Simmons is looking for sure handers. He anticipates opposing kickers to spray the ball more to force returns and take fewer touchbacks.”

CINCINNATI — Bengals first round pick Shemar Stewart is unsigned and is holding out of training camp. The 17th overall pick is the only first rounder that hasn't signed his rookie contract. Stewart, who remains in Texas and is training at his alma mater, reached out to a teammate before the Bengals' first training camp practice on Wednesday.

The Bengals announced in March that they signed Lucas Patrick as an unrestricted free agent to a one-year deal.

Stewart agreed to sign the four-year, $18.97 million deal after Cincinnati changed the language a controversial clause.

Bengals teammates tried to distract Evan McPherson in practice Friday, but it didn't work, which is good news for more than just the kicker.
