Hendrickson has been steadfast in his decision not to play without a long-term deal. He is currently in the final year of his contract, which includes a base salary of approximately $16 million.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the Bengals&#8217; concerns, first-round draft pick Shemar Stewart, selected 17th overall, has yet to sign his contract. Stewart&#8217;s absence from practice will continue until an agreement is reached.<\/p>\n<p>On the field, the Bengals&#8217; offense showed familiar form. Quarterback Joe Burrow was precise during practice, particularly in the 7-on-7 drills. Burrow completed 9 out of 10 passes, with the only incompletion resulting from a dropped ball by Tee Higgins, attributed to the rainy conditions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/photo\/2025\/0510\/r1490489_1296x729_16-9.jpg\" alt=\"Bengals' top pick Shemar Stewart watches camp, sans deal - ESPN\" \/><\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"primisPlayerContainerDiv\" class=\"primisslate\">\n<div id=\"primis_container_div_6836634f98488\">\n<div id=\"primis_playerSekindoSPlayer6836634f98486\">\n<div id=\"Player-Div-SekindoSPlayer6836634f98486\">\n<div id=\"Video-Div-SekindoSPlayer6836634f98486\">\n<div id=\"Video-iFrame-SekindoSPlayer6836634f98486\">\n<div id=\"videoContainerDiv\">\n<div>\n<p>Defensively, the Bengals showcased their projected first-team lineup. The secondary featured Cam Taylor-Britt, Geno Stone, Jordan Battle, and DJ Turner, with Josh Newton and Jalen Davis rotating in. Davis made a notable interception against the second-team offense. Logan Wilson and rookie Demetrius Knight Jr. took most of the first-team reps at linebacker, while offseason acquisition Oren Burks mixed in.<\/p>\n<p>The Bengals will continue their OTAs on Wednesday and Thursday, and again from June 2-4, before commencing mandatory minicamp on June 10.
