(AP) _ Receiver Chris Henry rejoined the Cincinnati Bengals in practice today.

Owner Mike Brown crossed a downtown street to the team's practice field for Henry's first workout since he served a four-game suspension for misconduct. Brown released Henry after his fifth arrest last April, then made a stunning about-face and brought him back over the objections of coach Marvin Lewis.

Henry says players and coaches seemed happy to see him return. Offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski was impressed with how Henry looked in practice.

The receiver wasn't allowed to work out with the team for the past four weeks, but stayed in shape by catching passes from former University of Cincinnati quarterback Gino Guidugli.
