Bengals Training Camp Observations - Aug. 1

Five observations from Day 6
of #Bengals training camp:
1. Irv Smith Jr worked on one-handed lefty grabs before practice.
“I’m excited about where he’s at,” said TE coach James Casey. “He’s got a great attitude, he’s playing hard, he’s a smart guy, and he’s building day by day.” pic.twitter.com/Efq4bD153V

3. It was the first day in pads, meaning we saw 1-on-1 pass rush drills for the first time.

5. TE Tanner Hudson is working hard at his emergency long-snapping skills. He snapped before-and-after practice as well as a few times in punting drills.
“I’m trying to put that on my résumé and show that it’s something that I can do,” he said. “The more you can do the better.” pic.twitter.com/imkKy5x0Mo
