WLWT Cincinnati reports that Bengals WR Maurice Purify was arrested at 2AM Tuesday morning for disorderly conduct.

Purify was taken into custody following a skirmish at Jefferson Hall, a bar in Newport (KY). The former Nebraska Cornhusker went undrafted in 2008 after multiple college arrests, including one for DWI and another for assault, trespassing, and resisting. The character-unconscious Bengals still gave him a deal. Purify’s already long odds of making the team should decrease.

Maurice Purify appears to be ahead of 2008 second-round pick Jerome Simpson for the Bengals’ fifth receiver job.

The Bengals want their fifth receiver to be active on special teams, where Purify has a major edge on Simpson. Antonio Chatman’s lower leg injury does give Simpson a chance, but he has to start showing more consistency.

Carson Palmer says he feels Maurice Purify is closer to making an impact than Jerome Simpson as the Bengals’ No. 4 receiver.

With Chris Henry (shattered forearm) out for the season, the Bengals are looking for a receiver to step up as a situational deep threat. Purify is on the practice squad and won’t have any value even if he gets the call.

Coach Marvin Lewis declined to say if Jerome Simpson or Maurice Purify will step in as the Bengals’ fourth receiver with Chris Henry (arm) out for the season.

Simpson, a 2008 second-round pick, has been inactive for every game this season. When asked why, Lewis said “some guys come here and they have a little better knowledge of how coverages unfold and things work.” Carson Palmer already said he thinks Purify is closer to making an impact. No matter who gets the call, don’t expect either to make an impact in fantasy.

Carson Palmer continues to push for WR Maurice Purify to handle No. 4 receiver duties over Jerome Simpson.

“Everybody takes their own time or their own process to get to where they need to get on the field and he’s found a way to do it faster and done a better job,” said Palmer of Purify. It doesn’t speak well to Simpson’s Dynasty value that his quarterback prefers an undrafted practice squad player.

Bengals signed WR Maurice Purify from their practice squad.

The Nebraska product will likely immediately move ahead of disappointing 2008 second-round pick Jerome Simpson to be the Bengals’ No. 4 receiver. Purify has terrific size at 6'4/210, and showed some power on HBO’s Hard Knocks in training camp, bulldozing S Roy Williams in Oklahoma Drills.

Bengals signed WRs Maurice Purify and Freddie Brown, DT Clinton McDonald, CB Antonio Smith, and OG Jason Shirley to futures contracts.

Purify was ahead of Jerome Simpson on the camp depth chart, but Simpson made the roster instead because he was a 2008 second-round pick. Shirley is a former defensive tackle. Brown and McDonald were drafted in 2009.
