Today we saw the closest thing we'll see to real football from the Bengals until the team's first pre-season game (which is just six days away) on Friday. Below are the Tweets that came in from Paul Brown Stadium during family day. The event included a mock scrimmage in which Andy Dalton, AJ McCarron and Josh Johnson all got reps at quarterback. Both Dalton and McCarron were able to complete touchdown drives.
Injury Updates:
Marvin Jones is dressed and active for today's practice.

Been out here about 15 minutes and I count two OutKast songs already over the stadium's PA. I count that as a win. #Bengals

Not much going for first or second team offense so far. Three series, three punts. DT DeShawn Williams made multiple impressive plays.
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) August 8, 2015
Andy Dalton's second series was more efficient, but ended on third down when undrafted rookie DeShawn Williams batted ball at line #Bengals

DeShawn Williams continues to stand out in this camp #Bengals

Little scuffle on this AJ McCarron-led series. Gilberry slammed TJ Johnson to the ground pretty hard after a third-down pass.

Tyler Eifert just had the highlight of the day. Jumped high for an Andy Dalton throw and caught it. A 22-yard gain. He was up there #Bengals
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 8, 2015

Second TD of mock game: McCarron to Mario Alford. About 20 yards.
— Joe Danneman (@FOX19Joe) August 8, 2015
McCarron in first series with first-team offensive line leads 11-play, 80-year drive. Nice 24-yd TD pass to Mario Alford on a cross.
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) August 8, 2015
Mccarron leads first offense on 75 yd TD drive. He was 5 of 5 for 41 yds and rams twice for 17. Threw 24 yd TD pass to Alford. #bengals
— Richard Skinner (@Local12Skinny) August 8, 2015
AJ McCarron just led an offense that had first-team OL interior on 11-play drive. Ended in 24-yd TD pass to Mario Alford. Lines were gassed
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 8, 2015
McCarron is very sharp today. Just led an end of half field goal drive. Good zip on passes.
— Joe Danneman (@FOX19Joe) August 8, 2015
No Andy Dalton and first-team WRs in one-min drill, but AJ McCarron drove his unit in place for Tom Obarski's 35-yard field goal at buzzer

On that drive, AJ McCarron hit Mario Alford for a 20-yd pass and Greg Little on a 16-yarder. Tyler Kroft dropped a pass over middle #Bengals

AJ McCarron told me yesterday he and Greg Little have put in a lot of extra work together after practices to work on timing. #Bengals

Iloka had a big hit on rookie tight end John Peters. Looks like he had the wind knocked out of him

Peters is up and ran off the field.

Brief scare did the #Bengals just now. Local product John Peters was on the ground for a few after hard collision with George Iloka
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 8, 2015
Peters got right up and jogged off the field. About two minutes later, Marvin Lewis ended practice (seems they were about done anyway)
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 8, 2015
Peters walked off and appears OK.
