Green aids victims of Dayton tornadoes David Kohl-USA TODAY SportsA.J. Green stepped up in a big way following tornadoes that devastated the Dayton area. These tornadoes took place on May 27th and 28th, which left wide-spread damage throughout much of Dayton and the pain could take months or years to heal for residents.Green, according to WHIO, was there on the scene following this atrocity helping assist the Red Cross. Just his presence and kind words would�ve been huge to heighten the spirits of those that lost everything.The Pro Bowl receiver was also seen moving supplies and distributing water to those in need at the Corinthian Baptist Church on South James H. McGee Blvd, as captured on social media.�He was so gracious and humble,� resident Maria Brooks told WHIO. �As a lifetime Bengals fan, I was elated to meet him.�Green, who was out most of the second half of last season, was seen taking pictures with fans as well. Given his stellar reputation throughout the city, there couldn�t have been a better representative for the Bengals in Dayton.This is just one of the many ways the Bengals have both individually and collectively been demonstrated a desire to give back to the community. Just earlier this year they developed a partnership to donate $10,000 to a Cincinnati high school for new football equipment.That said http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/mark-walton-jersey , Dayton has requested and been accepted for federal funding, but with such destruction, the money certainly won�t be there soon enough. Some others, those lucky enough to have homeowners insurance, were put up in hotels for the foreseeable future.After one of the worst tornado strikes in Ohio history, the community responded in a big way, and Green was there to help lead the charge. While Andy Dalton was throwing deep passes to A.J. Green and the rest of the Bengals receivers on Friday, Tyler Eifert was on a side field running sprints in shorts and a cut-off shirt.He ran one sprint, then another. Next were some agility drills. The tight end did everything except catch one of Dalton's spirals.The Bengals' most oft-injured player hopes that part comes soon.The Bengals have gambled that Eifert can stay healthy for a full season and get the NFL's worst offense moving again. He played only two games last season before hurting his back again, prompting another medical procedure. Eifert was a free agent after the season, and the Bengals decided to keep him with an incentive-laden http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/hardy-nickerson-jersey , one-year deal .Cincinnati's offense finished last in the league in yards. A healthy Eifert could help change that."I can't predict the future on that one, but I can testify to the fact that he made a difference when he was up and running for us," director of player personnel Duke Tobin said. "We know what he can do if he can get back to that level."Eifert is one of Dalton's favorite targets. He caught 13 touchdown passes in 2015, the most by a tight end in Bengals history. That was the last time the Bengals made the playoffs. A concussion, a dislocated elbow, a torn ankle ligament and two back injuries have limited him to 24 games over the last four years.Although the Bengals have encouraging reports on Eifert's back, they've decided to go slow with him at the start of camp. He hasn't been cleared to practice even though he feels he's ready, forcing him to work out on a side field the first two days."When I came back, I thought I'd go right into practice," Eifert said. "Everyone knows all the surgeries I've had. We're just being smart about it."The Bengals are trying to keep him healthy and get him in shape for the opener at Indianapolis on Sept. 9. He said there's been no discussion about how much he might play in the preseason."I definitely need to get back out there, get some plays full-speed http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/germaine-pratt-jersey ," Eifert said. "It's been a while."Eifert hurt his back during the second game last season, a 13-9 loss to Houston. Backups Tyler Kroft and C.J. Uzomah combined for 52 catches and eight touchdowns during the season.Eifert's greatest asset is his ability to make catches in tight coverage, the main reason he became Dalton's favorite target near the goal line. The tight end has made one change in the offseason, dropping at least 10 pounds for quickness."I feel a lot better," he said. "Everyone is always saying you're got to block and hang in there in the trenches, you've got to put on weight, but that's (wrong)."ON THE SIDE: Linebacker Vontaze Burfict also worked out on the side Friday for the second straight day. He hasn't been cleared to practice. Burfict is suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.ROSS AGAIN: Second-year receiver John Ross made his second impressive catch of camp on a long throw, drawing applause from the crowd of 1,050. Ross missed most of his rookie season with shoulder injuries.OUCH: Tony McRae fell while trying to break up a pass, and receiver Cody Core landed on the back of the cornerback's right leg. McRae limped to a cart and was taken off for an exam.
