Cincinnati Bengals first-round pick Shemar Stewart has been in contact with his teammates despite not participating at training camp during his contract dispute with the team. On the same day Bengals players took part in training camp practice, Stewart apparently texted at least one teammate.

Mims went on to start 13 games for the Bengals last season. Cincinnati’s first-round pick from this year, Shemar Stewart, didn’t report for training camp due to an ongoing contact dispute with the team.
