Chris Henry (1 Viewer)

[Will]

I did a search but didn't see this anywhere so I'm hoping someone may know this.

Chris Henry will miss this week and finish his 2 game suspension from the league. This, on the heels of the 1 game suspension he got from the team 3 weeks ago.

So now that he is back next week, is he done with his league (and team) trouble or are there any more suspensions looming on the horizon?

Obviously, I'm talking about suspensions for previous misconduct. Anything he does from here on out will be dealt with at that time but what I am wondering is, IF he can stay out of trouble from now on (I know, very large if, but for the sake of this discussion let's suspend judgement about his ability to stay out of trouble in the future.) will he be able to play the rest of the season (and next season) or is there any another legal or league mandated issue waiting to be resolved that could get him more suspensions?

TIA for any help.

Just saw he has his DUI trial set for the end of November. If he pleads or is found guilty, it will mean a 4 game suspension.

Looks like Henry's next suspension wouldn't come until after week 12, if at all. Henry is actually a nice guy to target right now I think. He's been MIA for 3 weeks, bad PR with Thurman's DUI and his suspension and the Bengals WRs are very thin at the moment due to injuries...they need him to step up starting next week.

Henry case continued in Clermont County

The DUI case involving Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry was continued to Nov. 27 in Clermont Municipal Court. The prosecution asked for the continuance.

Henry will serve the second of a two-game suspension Sunday for violations of the NFL substance abuse and personal conduct policies. He will be eligible to return to play for the game Oct. 29 against Atlanta at Paul Brown Stadium.

this guy will never ever be out of the woods... in the clear... or sober. that i can gaurentee you.

IIRC, there was a story a couple months ago saying there was a problem with the prosecutor's evidence in the case that was just continued. Something about the breathalyzer data being bad maybe. Yesterday's continuance (requested by the prosecutor apparently) would seem to make that earlier story more credible.

If that's true, Henry's got a pretty good chance of dodging this charge. There's still one other case pending, but I don't know much about the current status of that one.

Either way, he should be good for Weeks 8-12 (5 games).

I picked off the WW in the preseason in a dynasty league(all FGB). The orginal owner grew tired of all the headlines during the offseason. I won't be dropping him anytime soon.

The Bengals still have Chad Johnson and TJ Houshmanzadeh. One of the best tandems of WR in the league. Most teams dont even have one good WR. Bengals have two that are healthy.

Thin refers to depth, not talent.

Team facing receiver shortage

By Kevin Goheen

Post staff reporter

The Bengals offensive line isn't the only unit suffering from injuries.

Wide receiver Kelley Washington was ruled out of Sunday's home game against Carolina, while linebackers Brian Simmons and Rashad Jeanty and safety Dexter Jackson are all questionable to face the Panthers.

Washington strained a hamstring in Sunday's 14-13 loss at Tampa Bay, leaving the Bengals with just three healthy receivers with NFL experience: Chad Johnson, T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Antonio Chatman, who caught his first two passes of the season against the Buccaneers for 13 yards.

Tab Perry remains out indefinitely with a hip injury while Chris Henry must sit out against Carolina to complete his two-game NFL suspension. Rookie Reggie McNeal is the only other wide receiver on the roster but he has been inactive for all three games he has been on the 53-man squad.

McNeal was the emergency No. 3 quarterback against Tampa Bay because Anthony Wright is out after having an appendectomy last Friday, forcing Doug Johnson to move up to No. 2 behind Carson Palmer. Wright will miss the Carolina game and could be out longer.

"We have numerous options," said head coach Marvin Lewis about how to deal with the receiving dilemma.

One possible solution could be the return of running back Chris Perry from the Physically Unable to Perform list. Perry is eligible to come off the PUP this week if the team decides he's healthy enough to play. Perry has been sidelined by offseason knee and ankle surgeries but he has performed rehab workouts in pads the last couple of weeks.

The former first-round draft pick caught 51 passes last season to go along with averaging 4.6 yards per carry as Rudi Johnson's backup at tailback.

Lewis said there is a chance that Jackson could return this week from the ankle sprain he suffered on Sept. 17 against Cleveland. Jeanty is recovering from a foot sprain that's kept him out of the lineup the last two games. Simmons practiced all last week but woke up Sunday morning with a sore neck that kept him from playing against the Buccaneers.

"It seemed to be something on Sunday morning that made him feel not very good, so we went without him in the game," said Lewis. "Hopefully as time goes on this week, things will alleviate and he'll be back to full strength. He injured himself on Wednesday and continued to work through the week. He felt like he was getting better but when he woke up on Sunday, he didn't feel good enough to play. He was very honest about it and he didn't think he could do it."

Has the Bengals offensive ineptitude coincided with Henry's absence?

hmmm...

 

[Trap Play]

I found this rather surprising given what cracKer wrote above, and I happen to agree with:

-- Chris Henry May Not be Reinstated on Monday --

Sat Oct 21, 2006 --from FFMastermind.com

The Dayton Daily News reports the Cincinnati Bengals may not reinstate WR Chris Henry when he's eligible to come off a two-game suspension Monday.

Do you know him?Or are you just offering your informed opinion based on never having met the man and knowing nothing about him other than what you've read.

He must know something that I don't. Based on what I have read I always thought him to be the safe and sober type

So, based on that line of logic, you've never made a decision about anything without first having personally met and gotten to know well the people involved, right?

Yes this would be true, I do not make it a practice of judging people I haven't met. In fact, I try not to judge people at all, even the ones I have met...it's just not my territory. Especially as it pertains to making a ridiculous statement such as the one above "guaranteeing that Chris Henry will never be sober"Guessing you've never met a drinker who gave it up, right?

Let's just say that having been burned trading for KRob this offseason and also seeing others burned by Onterrio Smith, Ricky Williams, T.O., and others with substance and/or character problems, I'm through with these kinds of repeat problem guys. Henry has had his time on my roster and now he's off it for good. I'm happy to let someone else deal with his likely future "surprises."

I highly doubt those that have targeted Terrell Owens and Ricky Williams year after year in fantasy football drafts, are all that upset about the one year they both failed their fantasy teams.Those fantasy players that have been burned with Onterrio Smith and Koren Robinson, obviously overpaid.NFL players have shown the willpower and determination to overcome the odds and make it to the National Football League...these same players can and often do use this willpower and determination to overcome their difficulties in other areas of life.Realistically, there are just not that many NFL players with lifetime suspensions due to either substance abuse or off the field issues...these guys make alot of money and top dollar help from various medical fields is readily available to them.You can keep your glass half empty...and I'll keep my glass half full

Henry was drunk and puking out the window of Odell Thurman's car a few weeks ago, after all of his other previous troubles. He's not working to turn anything around, he's a screw-up. I'll be a realist. You keep on your rose-colored glasses.

 

[Brewdude]

Someone dropped him and I picked him up. He's worth sticking on a roster as a WR5 or 6 to see what happens, IMO.

I agree. I'm no moral judge here, and as long as this guy has the ability to post 20 point games for me, I'll find a spot for him. Even if he's reinstated, it'll be hard to see him continuing to produce as he had with a healthy 84/85 on the field, but the potential is there.

i may not have just added him had i seen this tidbet... he's my 5th reciever and all but 1 of the other 4 have had their BYEs... so i'm mainly looking to roster someone in hopes of keeping him off my oppenents starting lineup

 

[Trap Play]

Actually, it just occurred to me that the Bengals may be looking to see how the addition of Perry boosts their offence before deciding to reinstate Henry.

 

[tick dog]

from all i hear/read marvin lewis doesn't like henry's punk aaasss at all. when asked if he noticed a difference on the team after he benched henry for a game in early october:

"I did notice a difference, actually,'' Lewis said Monday. "I didn't have anybody taunting, in anybody's face or anything like that. That's where I noticed the difference: guys doing it the way they're asked to do it. I didn't have to worry about the guy taking off his helmet on the field and things like that.''

this deosn't sound like a coach who's in a big hurry to get henry back on the field.

Yeah, but that was before Cincy struggled to score 13 points against a winless Tampa Bay team. And before the injuries to the other receivers.

still, i can see lewis being the type to sit a "star" in order to send a message.

Henry currently sitting on my bench in a dynasty league. Anyone think I should drop him and pick up Chad Jackson?
