Even though Jeremi Johnson is working through a knee injury he suffered against the Chicago Bears , the Bengals signed fullback Fui Vakapuna off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad , Geoff Hobson writes. Vakapuna will go to the team's 53-man roster, which will require the team to either release/waive a player, or move them to an open spot on the practice squad. Along with Jeremi Johnson...

... only get to play nine games this year.”Other topics Lewis hit in a conversation with Bengals.com’s Geoff Hobson:_The formula of a strong running game had its roots in last year’s 0-8 start, when Lewis and his coaches looked at teams that were 6-2 and 5-3. They are 9-5-1 since. Since the NFL went to eight four-team divisions in 2002, 24 teams have finished with 10 victories and a total...

... 12-yard touchdown pass to Texans' tight end Owen Daniels with a minute left in the first quarter. Geoff Hobson writes that Odom tore his right achilles. Lewis said a couple of hours after the Bengals' 28-17 loss to the Texans that Odom's right Achilles is torn. That usually means out for the year, a shame for a guy who had already rung up eight sacks to tie his career best. The immediate...

The Bengals have until 1 PM to sell, at last reported, 3,000 tickets in order for Sunday's game to be a sellout . Jacksonville and Oakland are blacked out in their own markets.

I typically defend Geoff Hobson more often than not. No one has answered me when I ask who works harder than him on any other NFL team website. And if you complain he tends to have a favorable spin on the Bengals , well, then duh. How many times have you gone to your boss and said, "your product stinks and you suck at nearly everything you do." Oh, oh. I almost saw a hand back...

Geoff Hobson wrote an excellent piece on the Cincinnati Bengals and community: both in the locker room and in the literal community. This team seems much more cohesive than what we've seen in the past, from starters to back ups. That's good to see for a club that was long-reputed in media...
