Practice Report: Cincinnati Bengals (7-2) at Oakland Raiders (2-7)

by Josh Kirkendall on Nov 19, 2009 9:15 AM EST in Injury

Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evening, we'll (TRY TO) update the practice/injury chart leading up to Sunday's game. The chart is pretty self-explanatory. If the player is listed as out, they're out for the game. If they did not participate, they didn't practice. If they were limited, then they only participated during a portion of practice (typically means missing 11-on-11 drills). If the player is listed as full participation, it simply means that they practiced fully and that the only reason they're listed is because injury was an issue the week before.

probably too busy punching out some assistant coaches to remember to end practice

What's the dealeo about Keith Rivers?

I think we’re fine with amazing backup action right now, but I hope Rivers is not going to be out for much longers. I am hoping it’s more of the case that we have such a great backup that the team can afford him to get to 100% before having him back in.

It’s also why I think we are fine with Bernard Scott and Brian Leonard for the next couple of weeks, regardless of LJ. They are a good tandem with young legs. Let them get some more game time.

This game is not a lock by any means.

The Raiders are a team with a lot of talented players. Russel is the biggest reason they have failed to this point and he is not playing. I see this as a very tough win. The Bengals could beat them handily but these last two emotionally charged wins coupled with a long left coast flight will test the mettle of this team. Oh I think they win but they will have to continue to lay it all on the table or they can also lose. This will be as big of a win as any this season as it will be an indicator of how their final area of concern. That is their ability to handle success.
