Both were watching.

Owner Mike Brown crossed a downtown street to the team's practice field — part of his daily routine — 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.

They're all together again, trying to get an 0-4 team its first win.

Henry had to sit out the first four games because of his latest violation of the NFL's conduct policy. The Bengals have a one-week roster waiver allowing Henry to practice without being added to the active roster. He worked out with the scout team on Wednesday, playing the part of Dallas receiver Terrell Owens against the Bengals' starting defense.

"Everyone seems like they're real happy to see me back and ready for me to be back out there, making plays like I do," Henry said. "It feels good to be out there working with my team and trying to get my stuff together. I felt real good out there. I'm just trying to show the coaches that I'm ready to go as soon as they give me a call."

Lewis said the team will decide later in the week whether Henry plays Sunday in Dallas, a move that would reunite him with another troubled player from West Virginia. Henry and cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones were drafted in 2005 and got into so much trouble individually that they were a catalyst behind commissioner Roger Goodell's crackdown.
