Three Cincinnati Bengals who sustained devastating season-ending injuries in 2013 were back on the field for the first practice of training camp Thursday, and a fourth may not be too far behind. Punter Kevin Huber's return from a broken jaw and fractured vertebrae -- the result of a vicious, illegal hit by the Pittsburgh Steelers' Terence Gavin in Week 16 -- was expected, and cornerback Leon Hall's recovery from a second torn Achilles' tendon in three years was predicted. But Clint Boling surprised everyone when he lined up at left guard for the first snap of 11-on-11 drills less than seven months after surgery to repair an ACL tear he sustained in his right knee Dec. 1 at the San Diego Chargers.
