Smith’s common sense took a nap in late-December, when he engaged in improper contact with an agent, leading to his suspension from Alabama’s Sugar Bowl loss to Utah on Jan. 5.

He took a mental snooze in February, when he decided to head for the exits of the NFL Draft Combine in Indianapolis early without informing his group leader, raising questions about his NFL preparedness.

Now, in August as his new Bengal teammates are preparing for their first preseason game on Friday night in New Orleans, Smith seems to be suffering his biggest torpidity-induced hurdle yet: physical inactivity due to his now two week old holdout.
