Lions signed RB DeDe Dorsey.
The MVP of the UFL's inaugural championship game, Dorsey offers a similar package to change-of-pace back Aaron Brown. The Lions are expected to add a possible starter as well, so Dorsey may have to impress as a returner to nail down a roster spot behind Maurice Morris.
Jerome Simpson has been too slow to learn the Bengals' offense, a team source tells Scout.com's Adam Caplan.
Perhaps this explains why Simpson, a second round pick in 2008, was passed by Quan Cosby and Maurice Purify on the depth chart last season. The Bengals are desperate for a deep threat going forward, but it doesn't look like Simpson has put himself in position to be that guy.
Bengals SLB Rey Maualuga will check into the Betty Ford Center later this month for at least 30 days.
Maualuga had an alcohol-related arrest at USC and then pled guilty to drunk driving charges last week. He's on two years probation but isn't likely to face a suspension in 2010.
Bengals SLB Rey Maualuga is meeting with the NFL Wednesday in relation to last week's arrest and subsequent guilty plea to drunk driving charges.
The alcohol-related offense brings a possible fine of two game checks up to $50,000. Considering Maualuga's history at USC, including a 2005 alcohol-related arrest, he's a near-lock for Stage 1 of the league's substance abuse program. Players don't receive NFL suspensions until they reach Stage 2 or 3.
Chad Ochocinco is lobbying for a chance to kick a field goal in Sunday's Pro Bowl.
Ocho had taken to calling himself "Esteban Ochocinco" after nailing an extra point and a kickoff in a preseason game last summer. He claims that he's been nailing field goals over 50 yard in practice this week.
Bengals SLB Rey Maualuga pleaded guilty to a drunk driving charge Tuesday.
Maualuga hit two parked cars and a parking meter early Friday morning before he was arrested. He was sentenced to seven days in jail, fined $350 and had his driver's license suspended for 90-days. He's now on two years probation. Maualuga apologized for the incident and said he "will learn from this and it won't happen again." Per league policy, he's a candidate for a short suspension in 2010.
Bengals SLB Rey Maualuga was arrested Friday morning in Northern Kentucky for DUI and careless driving.
Maualuga reportedly had a blood-alcohol level of .157, which is far above the .08 legal limit. He's scheduled for a video arraignment in Kenton County District Court Friday afternoon. The 23-year-old is still recovering from a late-season fractured ankle.
