Eleven-year veteran offensive guard Bobbie Williams ended his free agency on Monday as the Cincinnati Bengals made an official announcement that they re-signed the free agent with a new contract that will keep Williams in Bengals jersey through the 2011 season.
The two-year contract will pay Williams nearly $3 million and the Bengals does consider that he deserves it. Just as Coach Marvin Lewis said, Williams is a guy that every coach would like to have on his team. He can be counted on to be on the field every day at practice and on Sundays and always make great effort to have increasing production; he is one of the most respected guys in our locker room and his existence with the team is essential to the Bengals, who are coming off a division championship and looking forward a better season in 2010.
Williams was originally drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles as a second-round pick in 2000 and spent his first four seasons all with the Eagles. Leaving the Eagles to put on the Bengals jersey in 2004, Williams started 95 of 98 games he played for the Bengals, missing only three games in 2006 season.

Bengals rookie RT could miss games with broken foot
Two days after he ended holdout with a four-year, $21 million contract being signed with the Cincinnati Bengals, rookie right tackle could have to miss more chances of playing a real game in Bengals jersey with his left foot being broken during practice.
It was a small fracture in the foot he got during a non-contact drill in his third workout since signing his deal. His chance f winning the starting job this season had already become smaller during a long contract impasse that forced him to miss training camp and the first three preseason games. The injury just became another major setback and could prevent him from playing in the Bengals’ final preseason game Thursday against Indianapolis.
The second-year lineman Anthony Collins will likely take his job at right tackle. At least the fourth-round draft pick last year did much more work and has more experience than Smith, stating six games at right tackle before leaving the field with injuries.

Bengals TE Kelly ruptured tendon
On Monday morning, the Bengals tight end Reggie Kelly ruptured his tendon. His injury was the team's first significant injury of training camp and a notable setback to the team's offense, which finished last in last NFL season.
Kelly will have a surgery on Wednesday and be sidelined for at least six months after the surgery. The injury was the 11-year veteran's first major injury. Bengals offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski said that he felt it freak thing for losing a good player who has spent six seasons with the team. As the third receiver on the team last season with 31 catches for 207 yards, Kelly's being injured opens the way for Ben Utecht to show off, who has been waiting since he put on bengals jersey.
Without Kelly being present, the Bengals were counting on first-round pick Andre Smith to start at right tackle, but Smith has not reported for camp and missed the first four days of practice because of contract dispute.
