Day 5 of Bengals training camp featured the return of Margus Hunt and Wallace Gilberry, the absence of Marvin Jones and rest days for Andrew Whitworth and Andrew Smith. Dre Kirkpatrick was one of the most impressive players of the day and Denarius Moore had an unfortunate drop, caught by many in attendance. Check out all the can't-miss Tweets from the day here.

About to kick off action for Day 5 of camp in Cincy. And oh look, a Margus Hunt-in-a-jersey sighting #Bengals pic.twitter.com/E8wu0EQbqs

Margus Hunt (99) doesn't have pads on but does have helmet. Not sure if off PUP list or not. #bengals @Local12 pic.twitter.com/GphxH273D7

Margus Hunt isn't in full pads like everyone else, but this is the first day he's been in a jersey. He entered camp on active/PUP #Bengals
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 4, 2015
Marvin Jones not in uniform. Didn't go yesterday either.

Wallace Gilberry dressed for practice today. #bengals @Local12

After a day of rest for his hamstring, Wallace Gilberry is back out on the field. #Bengals
— Jim Owczarski (@JimOwczarski) August 4, 2015
Wallace Gilberry missed Monday's practice but he's back in full gear today. Also, Onterio McCalebb told me today he has a bruised knee.
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 4, 2015
Whit and Andre Smith not in uniform. Could be a vet day off.
— Lindsay Patterson (@LndsPatterson) August 4, 2015
One other update. OT Andre Smith not practicing, either. Could just be getting a day off. #Bengals
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 4, 2015
Yeah. Hear ya. Just a way to protect the investments. Better to have healthy vets than overused, broken ones. https://t.co/7kkSkm2KYt
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 4, 2015
Seems -- for now -- they're just being careful. Will be interesting if he comes back Thursday. https://t.co/NxQebrT4EQ
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 4, 2015
On the defensive side, LB Flowers will be spectating today, DE Hunt in a jersey but no shoulder pads ... #Bengals

Official: Margus Hunt off PUP #Bengals

Margus Hunt is officially off the #Bengals PUP list. He's been cleared to practice today.

With Whit andAndre not working,young tackles to get tested
— Geoff Hobson (@GeoffHobsonCin) August 4, 2015

Should be good day to watch Jake Fisher as well. Whitworth and Andre Smith getting day off. #Bengals
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) August 4, 2015
James Wilder Jr. mentioned to me this week that he's doing less fullback work this camp. From the looks of first five days, appears that way
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 4, 2015
The fullback stuff in the spring was more experiment than anything else. #Bengals haven't given up on it. He's doing some RB and FB.
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 4, 2015
Two of the greats, Anthony Munoz and James Brooks on the sidelines today
— Geoff Hobson (@GeoffHobsonCin) August 4, 2015

#Bengals snapshot from the camera phone: A.J. Green readies his hands for a catch in the end zone… https://t.co/oIaBPT4ujH
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 4, 2015
#Bengals just wrapped a lively 11-on-11 drill. Couple rookies who stood out on defense: Marcus Hardison and DeShawn Williams.

Will Clarke and Carlos Dunlap swarmed AJ McCarron from each side, forcing McCarron to throw the ball away and into Northern Kentucky

Kid to Clark Harris, "Did you go to Rutgers?" Harris: "Yea." Then he plays catch with the kids. #Bengals pic.twitter.com/dnV2ncRfSI
— Andrew Miller (@AndrewFoxMiller) August 4, 2015
Marcus Hardison plugged hole well on a run, immediately stopped Rex Burkhead. DeShawn Williams stretched one play, forced Dalton out pocket
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 4, 2015
A lot of action through the first hour of practice today. WRs went one on one with CBs in the red zone. And a good session of 11 on 11
— Brennen Warner (@BrennenWarner) August 4, 2015
Marvin, Rey and PJ Dawson (47) #Bengals pic.twitter.com/fvN4pyz8Cj
— Lance McAlister (@LanceMcAlister) August 4, 2015
There have been several low snaps that have resulted in fumbles in this camp (mostly from backup centers). Easy fix. One #Bengals gotta make
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 4, 2015
Rough red zone series for #Bengals offense. Dalton 1 for 4, no TDs. McCarron 0 for 3, sacked once (Dunlap), flushed once (Dunlap)
— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonCMG) August 4, 2015
Dalton comes back with nice throw to Eifert for TD. #Bengals

Jeremy Hill in midseason form. High steps into the end zone for short TD run and busts out The Whip. #Bengals
— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonCMG) August 4, 2015
in goal line, Kroft one-handed grab for TD on LB Vinny Rey
— Geoff Hobson (@GeoffHobsonCin) August 4, 2015
Tyler Kroft made an incredible one-handed catch at the back left pylon. Whole offense went over to congratulate him
— Brennen Warner (@BrennenWarner) August 4, 2015
In 1s vs 1s Hill walks in on swing pass. Both balls from Dalton
— Geoff Hobson (@GeoffHobsonCin) August 4, 2015
Greg Little (who's looked good in this camp) just bobbled a pass while Adam Jones covered him. Pacman snatched ball out of air for nifty INT
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 4, 2015
Great pic in 7 on 7 by Adam Jones. Swipes a Little bobble down sideline
— Geoff Hobson (@GeoffHobsonCin) August 4, 2015
One play later (these are 7-on-7s, by the way), LB Vincent Rey dove and batted away an underneath screen pass #Bengals

S Shawn Williams has had a good practice today for #Bengals. Lots of energy, being in right spots.
— Kevin Goheen (@CincyGoGo) August 4, 2015
Devon Still has gotten more than a few reps with the No. 1 defense today in teams. #Bengals
— Jim Owczarski (@JimOwczarski) August 4, 2015
Pacman beefing with offensive players after throwing A.J. Green to ground in obvious P.I., arguing "He's doing the same thing." #Bengals
— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonCMG) August 4, 2015
Dre Kirkpatrick has had a really good day. Just broke up a goal-line pass to Denarius Moore. Kirkpatrick made a great break on ball #Bengals
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 4, 2015
Dre Kirkpatrick had an awesome day today. Through five days of camp he's looked like the team's number one corner by far.

James Brooks and Gio Bernard having a long conversation on sidelines during special teams period.

#Bengals working on drills for kickoff coverage team right now. Mario Alford is returning every kick. Giving him a chance to track the ball.
