Cincinnati Bengals players missing OTAs list ahead of training camp
The Cincinnati Bengals have the expected players missing OTAs right now.
Said expected names are two veterans with different issues with the team. The surprise is a rookie, though, as the Begnals have found themselves at a serious contract impasse with first-round pick Shemar Stewart.

With OTAs underway, these are the players currently not attending, or at least not participating.
DE Trey Hendrickson
Hendrickson had that memorable 20-plus minute interview at practice not too long ago where he aired out his frustrations. But mandatory work hasn't started, which means fines haven't come into play yet. The standoff continues.

LB Germaine Pratt
Pratt has been out of the picture since his trade request around the time the Bengals moved on from Lou Anarumo and shifted to Al Golden. A trade still seems unlikely, given factors like his age and contract.
DE Shemar Stewart
The Bengals are reportedly trying to set a new contract precedent with Stewart's deal, which has caused the holdup. Unlike many first-rounders without a contract yet, he's choosing not to practice, although he is present.
