Tuesday quick hits: big plays for both sides

The Bengals went into the scoring zones in pads for the first time this training camp and each side of the ball had its moment in an entertaining practice Tuesday at the Paul Brown Stadium practice fields before an estimated crowd of 1,000.

The defense turned away all four two-point conversion attempts, but the offense punched in three straight touchdowns from three yards out with their goal-line package, the last coming off a swing pass that running back Jeremy Hill cut back inside.

Big plays abounded. Rookie tight end Tyler Kroft made a leaping one-handed grab off a red-zone touchdown pass from backup quarterback AJ McCarron and wide receiver Greg Little stretched out for a touchdown pass from backup quarterback Josh Johnson.

But Little’s bobble on a deep sideline pass turned into an interception by cornerback Adam Jones that he swiped out of Little’s hands  and cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick added another pick when he outdueled wide receiver A.J. Green and quarterback Andy Dalton in the middle of the field.

For the second straight day, wide receiver Marvin Jones (hamstring) sat out. Right end Margus Hunt (back) came off the physically unable to perform list quicker than he thought, but he just went through individual drills on Tuesday. Left tackle Andrew Whitworth and right tackle Andre Smith got veterans’ days off with the Bengals looking at an off day Wednesday and don’t practice again until 3 p.m. Thursday and were replaced by rookie Jake Fisher and veteran Eric Winston, respectively.

Linebacker Marquis Flowers (leg) also sat out while right end Wallace Gilberry (hamstring) returned.
