The Facts: Henry has been suspended for the first four games of this season, but NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has given all clubs permission to sign him as free agent, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Thursday. Henry is permitted to practice immediately while serving his suspension for a violation of the personal conduct policy.

Diehards Line:The Bengals released Henry in April after he was arrested for the fifth time, and the NFL suspended him indefinitely. Henry's court case ended in a mistrial and prosecutors dropped the charges, prompting Henry to seek reinstatement with the league. The 25-year-old Henry was suspended for the first eight games last season for repeatedly violating the league's conduct policies. He played in the last eight games but had only 21 catches for 343 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the No. 3 receiver. Could the Cowboys come calling? Stay tuned.
