CINCINNATI -- In a perfect world for quarterback Joe Burrow, the Bengals would have already wrapped up all outstanding contract issues before training camp started Wednesday.
But when the Bengals took the field, a couple notable names were missing. Defensive end Trey Hendrickson is away from the team as he seeks a long-term deal, and first-round rookie Shemar Stewart is one the last remaining unsigned draft picks.
For yet another year, it's an issue the Bengals are trying to navigate around as they prepare for the start of the upcoming season.
