The Cincinnati Bengals already revealed that they won’t be doing joint practices with another NFL team this summer during training camp and the preseason. Now we know a little bit more as to the why behind the decision.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart skipped the final day of the team’s mandatory minicamp practice as he remains in a contract dispute with the club.

The Bengals HC said he's had "good communication" with Stewart, but did not express confidence Stewart's contract will be signed by training camp.
