CINCINNATI (Ticker) -- The Cincinnati Bengals bolstered their
receiving corps Tuesday, signing rookie wide receiver Mario
Urrutia to a four-year contract.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
Urrutia, the team's seventh-round pick in the 2008 draft, will
be in the receiving mix for a Bengals team that released
troubled Chris Henry earlier this offseason and has been dealing
with Chad Johnson's ankle injury.
Despite asking for a trade, Johnson said he'll report on time
for Cincinnati's training camp this weekend, but his surgically
repaired ankle likely will prevent him from fully participating.
Urrutia struggled with turf toe last year for Louisville, but
had a big 2006 season with 58 receptions and six touchdowns.
