The Cincinnati Bengals added troubled wide receiver Chris Henry to the active roster on Saturday, following a return from a four-game suspension.

The Bengals released Henry on April 3 after his fifth arrest since the club made him their third-round pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. Charges for that arrest were later dropped, and, subsequently, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's indefinite suspension was revised to a four-game ban.

Cincinnati brought Henry back into the fold four months later.

Henry was a productive third option in the Bengals' passing attack over the past three seasons, compiling 88 catches for 1,370 yards and 17 touchdowns.

The 25-year old missed half of the 2007 season with a league suspension for his continued run-ins with the law. His brushes include possession of marijuana and providing alcohol to minors.

After being reinstated midway through last season, the West Virginia product caught 21 passes for 343 yards and two touchdowns.

Also on Saturday, the Bengals terminated the contract of halfback Kenny Watson.
