The last time that AJ McCarron threw a pass in a football game, he connected with running back Derrick Henry on a 61-yard touchdown play for Alabama against Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2, 2014. The last snap that McCarron took in a game isn't such a pleasant memory, as he was sacked and the ensuing fumble was returned for a touchdown as the Sooners sealed a 45-31 victory, only the fourth loss in McCarron's 40 collegiate starts. Now, 599 days later, McCarron is ready to play again. He's scheduled to return to the field with the Cincinnati Bengals in an NFL preseason game. The Bengals visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 7 p.m. CDT Monday. ESPN will televise the game nationally.
