Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry died this morning from injuries sustained in a demestic dispute. Henry was a five year veteran who was producing well for the Bengals prior to breaking his forearm against the Ravens. He had a wife and three children, along with a bright playing future ahead of him. He was one of the greatest receivers to ever play at West Virginia, and was well on his way to being a premier player in the league.
Henry had many off the field issues, including 5 arrests and 3 total suspensions. After he was arrested in April 2008, Henry was released from the team. Shortly after, he was brought back to the team against the wishes of coach Marvin Lewis. Although he had a bad reputation around the league, he was well into the process of turning the corner and being a better role model. It will be interesting how the Bengals finish the season after this tragedy, especially after watching the Angels win their division after the loss of Nick Adenhart this season. It will not be easy to recover from this blow to the team.
