Lewis: Henry, Nicholson embarrassed Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said Wednesday that he let two players know they’ve disgraced the team with their off-field legal problems.

“I told the people that yes, you embarrass us as an organization, myself, and the coaches when these things occur,” Lewis said of rookie linebacker A.J. Nicholson and second-year receiver Chris Henry. “Right, wrong or indifferent, there are certain things that you’re asked not to be a part of or around.”

Lewis insisted, however, that the recent arrests of Nicholson and Henry — Henry’s third arrest within seven months — aren’t distractions to the team as it prepares for summer minicamp next week.
