    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Bengals receiver Chris Henry received a two-game suspension Friday from the NFL for violating its conduct and substance-abuse policies, making him the second Cincinnati player suspended this season for misconduct.The second-year receiver also was fined $20,000 by the league. The Bengals have their bye this weekend, so Henry will sit out games against Tampa Bay and Carolina later this month.Henry, who had a history of problems at West Virginia when the Bengals drafted him last year, has been arrested four times since last December. Two cases have been settled -- he pleaded guilty to marijuana possession in northern Kentucky, and to a weapon charge in Florida. He avoided jail in both cases, but was subject to discipline from the NFL.His other two cases are pending, including a drunken driving charge in Ohio. Six Bengals have been arrested this year on various charges.HAYNESWORTH UPDATE: The Tennessee Titans want back some of Albert Haynesworth's bonus money. And that might be just the start of the paybacks.Coach Jeff Fisher told a national radio show Thursday that Haynesworth -- the defensive tackle suspended five games by the NFL for stomping on Dallas center Andre Gurode's face -- may never be back in the building again. Team spokesman Robbie Bohren also said the Titans are investigating their options.''We've moved on,'' Fisher said after practice Friday. ''I have no intention of addressing the Haynesworth issue now or at anytime between now and the time he comes back. I'm done with Albert, and this team is moving on. As far as specifics on his future, I'm not going to comment any further on that,'' Fisher said.Under the collective-bargaining agreement, punishment from the commissioner overrides any team sanctions.But Haynesworth's stomp of a player while defenseless on the ground without his helmet left Gurode with 30 stitches and cost Haynesworth $190,000 in lost salary. It also has resulted in unanimous condemnation and calls for the Titans to fire the tackle.Fisher's comments make it appear the Titans may be thinking of doing just that.COLTS WON'T PAY SIMON: Indianapolis will not pay the rest of defensive tackle Corey Simon's salary while he is out with an undisclosed illness.The Colts said Thursday the illness was not football-related and that Simon, who has not played or practiced since the first week of training camp in early August, would miss the rest of the season.Colts owner Jim Irsay told The Indianapolis Star that the balance of Simon's salary, about $2 million, would be withheld, a statement confirmed to The Associated Press Friday by Irsay spokeswoman Myra Borshoff Cook.Cook also said Irsay would not comment on an ESPN report that Simon had undergone tests by Mayo Clinic specialists and been diagnosed as likely having polyarthritis, which causes inflammation and affects multiple joints.INJURIES: Daunte Culpepper practiced with a bruised right shoulder, although the Miami Dolphins have not yet decided if their starting quarterback will be ready for Sunday's visit to New England.? ? Carolina Panthers safety Shaun Williams missed practice and was downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against Cleveland.</div>http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/87...nflnt07.article
