Thursday's training camp session was closed to the public due to weather and safety conditions in Cincinnati. The Bengals headed indoors to Paul Brown Stadium, where only the media was allowed to follow. It resulted in a low-key practice without much information flowing outside of the stadium.

Onto the field:
Noticed during pre-practice walkthrough that #Bengals were tinkering with Rex Burkhead at kick returner.
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 6, 2015
Marvin Lewis said earlier that #Bengals would start situational drills today. That means it's time to meet Mr. Ref. pic.twitter.com/LHolGtiOAl

Practice is starting. Rain is still coming down. Not that heavy though.
— Lindsay Patterson (@LndsPatterson) August 6, 2015
To be clear, Marvin Lewis wasn't just referring to Marvin Jones. Was speaking generally about all his injured,tho he still wants Jones there
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 6, 2015
Strong NFL men practice in the rain. Not-so-strong beat guys watch from comfort of dry pressbox. #Bengals pic.twitter.com/7walOv4V9L
— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonCMG) August 6, 2015
I’m not about to say all the throws today have been great, but the WRs are having some issue holding onto the ball in the rain. #Bengals
— Jim Owczarski (@JimOwczarski) August 6, 2015
Watching WRs/CBs compete in route work (sans ball). The trash talk between Hue Jackson, Dre Kirkpatrick, Adam Jones was hilarious #Bengals
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 6, 2015
Leon Hall in at George Iloka's safety spot as 1s open this set of 11 on 11. #Bengals

Pretty slow-paced day for #Bengals overall so far. A lot of install. Team just getting into 11-on-11 as rain finally slows.
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 6, 2015
Wallace Gilberry back to work in 11-on-11s - hammy appears to be just fine. #Bengals
— Jim Owczarski (@JimOwczarski) August 6, 2015
#Bengals just wrapped an 11-on-11 with some situational goal-line drills mixed in. Andy Dalton was 5-for-6 with a likely sack.
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 6, 2015
Andy Dalton had two perfectly placed throws to A.J. Green/Tyler Eifert. Offense winning today, but slick conditions prob have role #Bengals
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 6, 2015
He was on the side doing conditioning work. https://t.co/yj7nExCTFR

Following 11-on-11, #Bengals work on end-of-game scenarios without timeouts. FG unit rushed on field as time expired.
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 6, 2015
As backup kicker Tom Obarski made last FG attempt, ST coordinator Darrin Simmons yelled "3..2..1." Then a player shouted: "We win!" #Bengals

A few Teammates ran down to mob him in end zone after last one, a back shoulder catch against sideline vs Pacman.
