The Debrief: Concern for Dre but optimism for A.J. Green 1) Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick may miss Sunday’s game against Atlanta. According to
the team’s injury report
Trayveon Williams Jersey 2019 , Kirkpatrick missed Thursday’s practice with a back/groin. He was limited on Wednesday with a groin, so the “back” inclusion is
new. The Cincinnati Enquirer writes that he’ll be out — they reference
historical instances when players didn’t practice on Thursday, not any official
pronouncement. 2) A.J. Green appears to be playing Sunday. On the other hand,
Green, who was limited on Wednesday with a pelvis injury, was a full participant
Thursday. Obviously, this increases the likelihood that he’ll play on Sunday — a
welcome update. 3) Joe Mixon is getting closer. Running back Joe Mixon told
reporters that his knee feels great and that he could play Sunday if medically
cleared. Don’t expect it. Mixon spent practice on the rehab field Thursday, same
as Wednesday. Running back Giovani Bernard figures to start and Thomas
Rawls
Trayveon Williams Jersey Mens , signed last week, could make his debut as the team’s primary backup (though I’d like to see more out of Mark Walton, but I’m not a
coach). 4) Center Billy Price shooting for Steelers week. Alternatively, center
Billy Price is shooting for a Week 6 return — we’re not sure if that being
Steelers week factored into his target date, but we’ll pretend it did, so
“whodey!” He’ll reportedly be re-evaluated on Tuesday. Bengals Week 4

Pfahler with the Dayton Daily News talks about all of the Georgia connections

CINCINNATI (AP) — The previous time the Bengals tried to stop Baker Mayfield, he
set a Browns rookie record with four touchdown passes in little more than half a
game. He also gave a cold shoulder to his former head coach while leaving the
field.The Bengals are looking for anything positive at the end of another bad
season. Containing Mayfield on Sunday would qualify.Cincinnati (6-8) has been
eliminated from playoff contention for the third season in a row. It’s the
intrastate rival Browns (6-7-1) who are barely still in contention with two
games left, emerging from their historically bad run of losses as their rookie
quarterback grows up a little more each week — and builds a reputation,
too.Asked what Mayfield does best, cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick had an immediate
answer.“Talk
White Trayveon Williams Jersey ,” Kirkpatrick said Wednesday.“Naw, he’s cool,” the cornerback added. “I like to see that out of young guys. He definitely gets in
guys’ heads. That’s what this game is about.”He sure got into the Bengals’ heads
on Nov. 25.Mayfield led the Browns to touchdowns on their first four chances,
including a 96-yard drive. He was barely touched while going 17 of 22 for 245
yards in the first half, when the Browns piled up 296 yards.Up 35-7 early in the
second half, the Browns essentially ran out the clock. Mayfield threw only four
passes in the second half, one of them for a touchdown, as Cleveland finished
off a 35-20 win .It was the Bengals’ second game since coach Marvin Lewis fired
defensive coordinator Teryl Austin and assumed the role. The defense has been
better lately against lesser opponents. The Bengals ended a five-game losing
streak Sunday with a 30-16 win over the Raiders
http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-andrew-billings-jersey , who were missing both starting guards.The defense finally looked more like Lewis
had hoped.“It hasn’t been easy,” said rookie defensive end Sam Hubbard, who had
two sacks on Sunday. “We’ve been trying to address a lot of issues in
practice.”It’s difficult to quantify how much of an effect Hue Jackson’s had on
the defense. The Browns fired him as head coach after Cleveland got only two
wins in the first eight games. Lewis quickly hired his close friend as a special
assistant on defense, Jackson’s third stint on Lewis’ staff.Jackson helps create
the defensive game plan and is on the sideline during games, offering Lewis
advice when needed. He also talks to players on the sideline about adjustments
that need to be made.Jackson will be a focal point on the sideline Sunday in
Cleveland, where he won only three games in two-plus seasons. He’s kept a low
profile in Cincinnati not only with the media but also with players, trying to
be careful not to infringe upon the other assistant coaches’ areas.He was in the
spotlight when the Browns visited last month. Safety Damarious Randall
intercepted a pass by the Bengals sideline and handed the ball to Jackson , who
patted him on the helmet. After the game
Renell Wren Jersey 2019 , Jackson sought out Mayfield, but the rookie didn’t want to talk.Jackson’s decision to join an AFC North rival and plot to beat the
Browns didn’t go over well with some of his former players. His current ones
don’t want to get into it.“I don’t care about that,” Kirkpatrick said. “He was
their coach. Their might have been something personal. I don’t know. I’m not
going to get into it.“You’ll have to ask Hue.”Jackson? He’s not talking.BOYD
SIDELINEDReceiver Tyler Boyd topped 1,000 yards in the win over the Raiders, but
hurt his right knee late in the first half and didn’t return. He was held out of
practice Wednesday, an indication he’s unlikely to play in Cleveland. Linebacker
Jordan Evans (ankle) also missed practice.BURFICT RETURNSLinebacker Vontaze
Burfict returned to practice on a limited basis after missing the past two games
with a concussion. Right tackle Cordy Glenn (back), running back Joe Mixon
(wrist) and receiver John Ross (knee) also were limited.
