Week In Review: Boyd Back In The Fold
The news came out of Tuesday's training camp media luncheon at Paul Brown Stadium and validates Boyd's emergence as A.J. Green's running mate at receiver. With Green sidelined for half of 2018 with a big toe injury, Boyd responded with his first 1,000-yard season.

Boyd, who has made a lucrative career of melting the longest of chains into first downs, did it again this week inking a four-year extension. Raised in the third-and-10 violence and vicissitudes haunting the Monongahela River town of Clairton, Pa., Boyd has always kept his drive going.
Bengals Open Training Camp In Dayton On Saturday

Return of Andre
With their revamped offense under new age head coach Zac Taylor coping with injures up front, the Bengals went retro in their first attempt to find a back-up tackle. Ten years after they took him in the first round, Andre Smith re-joined the Bengals for a fourth time.
