Thursday Injury/Practice Report: Carlos Dunlap Sits Out For Bengals

by Jason Garrison on Dec 29, 2011 5:24 PM EST in Injury

The Bengals are pretty healthy as they head into their Week 17 game against the Baltimore Ravens. That's good considering that if they win, they have a guaranteed spot in the playoffs. Thursday's practice report isn't much different from Wednesday's. There are only two differences: Chris Crocker returned to practice, though he was limited, and Carlos Dunlap, who was limited on Wednesday, sat out on Thursday. Only Taylor Mays and Dontay Moch didn't practice other than him.

The Ravens' Thursday practice report is also similar to Wednesday's. Wide receiver Anquan Boldin was already ruled out for Sunday's game and the only difference is that safety Bernard Pollard sat out on Thursday and defensive tackle Arthur Jones practiced fully.

Dunlap looked fine Sunday

Have to hope they’re just making sure he doesn’t re-aggravate it. I’d think it’s the same thing they’re doing with AJ – only difference is they’re having AJ walk through the offensive plays without asking him to strain his shoulder, whereas Carlos doesn’t really need to walk through anything. When he’s on the field his job is pretty much “Go sack THAT guy.”

Rest Dunlap and Green

Let them practice light, or just rest.

Why did they never put Moch on IR?

Whether its headaches or whatever, what a waste of a roster spot… The guy was actually ‘full participation’ at practice all last week, and didn’t play. Now back to ‘did not participate’ this week. Pathetic.

Well it's not like there's anyone on the PS we're dying to bring up.

And it’s WAY too late for there to be any free agents out there that are worth bringing in. Still holding out hope he could do SOMETHING this year. I’d be happy with one special teams tackle at this point. Never liked him as a draft pick, but even I expected more than THIS out of him.

this team needs a healthy Dunlap

He is impact player that will only get better. I hope the team is taking it easy with him. When Dunlap is in the game, this allows Zim to drop 7 in coverage and make it easier on the secondary.
