More trouble for Bengals' Henry

CINCINNATI — Receiver Chris Henry allegedly was involved in an altercation with a parking attendant on the eve of rejoining the Cincinnati Bengals from his eight-game suspension.

Henry practiced with the Bengals on Wednesday and will be eligible to play Sunday in Baltimore. Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him for the first half of the season for repeatedly violating the NFL's conduct policy.

The third-year receiver stayed out of trouble during the suspension and was allowed to practice with the team for the past two weeks. He sat out a 33-21 loss in Buffalo on Sunday that dropped his last-place team to 2-6.

On Tuesday night, police in Newport, Ky., a suburb on the other side of the Ohio River within view of Paul Brown Stadium, were called to an entertainment district following a dispute over a parking fee.

A parking attendant told police that Henry and another man parked their sport utility vehicle without paying. According to an incident report, the attendant said Henry argued loudly with him and said, "Don't you know who I am?"

The attendant told police that Henry threw a $5 bill on the ground, but it was returned to him and police were called.

No charges have been filed. Police told 35-year-old Jason Baker of Bellevue, Ky., that he could file a complaint with prosecutors if he wanted to pursue the matter. Baker didn't return a phone message on Wednesday.

The Bengals were aware of the report but had no comment, noting that no charges had been filed.

WALKING WOUNDED: Shaun Alexander had plenty of good reasons for not being at the Seahawks practice on Wednesday.

A broken left wrist. A twisted left knee. A sprained left ankle.

Seattle's No. 1 running back joined leading receiver Deion Branch (sprained foot), tight end Marcus Pollard (arthroscopic surgery on his right knee last month), defensive end Patrick Kerney (strained oblique), defensive tackle Rocky Bernard (strained groin) and outside linebacker Leroy Hill (strained right hamstring) — all starters — in missing the first major preparation day for the Seahawks (4-4) before they host San Francisco (2-6) on Monday night.

Special teams standouts Niko Koutouvides and Will Herring, a rookie, are also hurt. They have sore hamstrings, though Koutouvides practiced a little on Wednesday.

"But some of them will come back. We'll practice them, hopefully, on Friday," coach Mike Holmgren said. "I think we're going to have half of them for the game."
