Bengals OTAs feature injury scare and rookie contract on busy day

Then, the bengals/327" target="_blank">Bengals turned around and got the rookie contract done with Cashius Howell, as the team announced. 

And as if that weren’t enough, the Bengals had a brief injury scare during an OTAs session on the same day. 

There, Bengals safety Daijahn Anthony appeared to briefly suffer some sort of setback during drills. He worked with trainers, got taped up and eventually returned, according to Local 12’s Yanni Tragellis.

It’s a small note, but a key offseason for Anthony, who finds himself in a serious battle on the back end of the depth chart after the arrivals of Bryan Cook and Kyler Dugger. 

As for Howell, he’s been getting some interesting looks as a linebacker in subpackages and appears headed for a meaningful role as a rookie. 

While a formality, the Bengals now have the entire draft class under contract.
