Today's schedule

Camp is closed. Team traveled to Florida on Thursday night.

Directions

From downtown: Take I-75 south about 70 miles to Exit 126 (Georgetown, Ky.). Turn right off ramp onto U.S. 460 West. Stay on 460 for about 2 miles. Turn right at light onto Lemons Mill Road (1962 West). Turn right into driveway flanked with Georgetown College/Bengals signs.

Coming up

The Georgetown College complex will reopen for practice at 4 p.m. Monday.

Injury report

• Left guard Eric Steinbach (elbow), running back Chris Perry (recent holdout), tight end James Whalen (knee), tight end Reggie Kelly (thumb) and linebacker Khalid Abdullah (ankle) are out against the Buccaneers.

• Running back Kenny Watson (hamstring) and fullback Alex Wade (knee) are "iffy," coach Marvin Lewis said.

• No word on fullback Jeremi Johnson (groin) and wide receiver Peter Warrick (knee), who are expected to be held out.

Palmer watch

Quarterback Carson Palmer had one miscommunication with wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, throwing into the end zone when Houshmandzadeh stopped on the 5.

In seven-on-seven passing drills, Palmer repeatedly had to throw dump passes to running backs because of tight coverage on downfield receivers.

Thursday's highlights

Perry finished his second day of practice since ending his holdout. Linebacker Kevin Hardy knocked Perry to the ground in an unintentional collision on a pass route, and running backs coach Jim Anderson continues to spend a great deal of time tutoring Perry.

With Perry out and Watson and Skip Hicks questionable, Herbert Goodman will get a lot of work behind starter Rudi Johnson.
