    Cincinnati – Starters expected to play most of the 1st half. QB Rotations Andy Dalton, Bruce Gradkowski, Zach Robinson. Injuries: RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis (foot), RB Bernard Scott (hamstring), DE Carlos Dunlap (knee) are out. (3rd-stringer Brian Leonard and special-teamer Cedric Peerman will get the bulk of the carries)
    Atlanta - Starters expected to play 25-30 plays. QB Rotations Matt Ryan, Chris Redman, JP Wilson. Injuries: LB Akeem Dent (concussion) is out, LB Lofa Tatupu (pectoral) is out for the season.

    Cleveland - Starters are expected to play 1st half and maybe into the third quarter. QB Rotations Brandon Weeden, Colt McCoy, Seneca Wallace. Injuries: RB Trent Richardson (knee) and linebacker Chris Gocong (Achilles') are out; DE Frostee Rucker (knee), TE Ben Watson (undisclosed), LB D'Qwell Jackson (shoulder), WR Travis Benjamin (undisclosed), LB Scott Fujita (leg), CB Dimitri Patterson (ankle), DT Scott Paxson (knee) and FS Usama Young (hamstring) may not play.

    There is no truth to the rumor that JJ Gold and I are suiting up for the Packers tonight.

    Good info. Bengals don't have the longest list but are down 4 starters. You missed their starting OG and LB Maulaluga or is he going to play with a Grade 1 MCL Sprain? If he does I can't imagine he'd play very much seeing as its the preseason...

    You are correct sir! Maualuga is out tonight. From SB Nation:

    Mercifully, all but one of the injuries were relatively minor. Among the good news that emerged Tuesday was that Rey Mauluga’s MCL sprain would only cause him to miss tomorrow’s game against Atlanta. Maualuga expects to return to action in the regular season warm-up game against the Green Bay Packers.

    Calling it the least severe of the MCL sprains, Maualuga said he'll make the trip to Atlanta for Thursday's game (8 p.m.-Cincinnati's Channel 12) and be on the sidelines to help linebackers coach Paul Guenther work with backup middle backers Roddrick Muckelroy and Vontaze Burfict. He said he'll start working on the sidelines with rehab director Nick Cosgray during Tuesday's practice.
