First, Owens had to arrive. It wasn't as easy as planned.

The Bengals expected him to arrive early in the day, take his physical and sign his one-year contract while the rest of the team held its first workout. They scheduled an introductory news conference after the morning practice.

The news conference had to be rescheduled for after the evening session because Owens missed his red-eye flight.

On his Twitter account, Owens had posted a note Wednesday night saying he was headed to see a movie. He didn't explain why he missed his overnight flight.
