Unclear If Ochocinco Will Show UP

It remains uncertain if Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco will report Monday for the launch of coach Marvin Lewis’ offseason conditioning program, according to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Lewis didn’t indicate whether Ochocinco will be at the workouts.

The outspoken wideout had pledged to attend all offseason activities, including minicamps, during an interview at the Super Bowl. He was an offseason no-show last year while making repeated trade demands.

“I plan on everyone to be here until I hear that they’re not,” Lewis said. “Now, there are some guys in weddings or classes who won’t be here the first week but will the second, and vice versa. We should be at 90 percent or better in terms of attendance.”

Ochocinco was hampered last season by hamstring and shoulder injuries, catching only 53 passes for 540 yards and three touchdowns in a dozen games. He was also deactivated for a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers as a disciplinary move.

“I know Chad learned a valuable lesson from last season,” Lewis said. “Hopefully, he will not have a repeat of that. Chad has to get himself back to where he was. We haven’t changed.

“Offensively we have to do things to get the ball to Chad, to push the ball down the field. . . . Chad has to make sure he prepares himself physically in the offseason so that when we get started and play games in September, he’s ready to go.”
