Antwan Odom is back, and ready. "I'm 100 percent now. It feels good. I'll definitely be ready. It's a good matchup (with Gaither). He's big and athletic and has some good hands. He's wide and broad. I've just got to get around him."

Offensively, the Bengals aren't worried with Willie Anderson on the Ravens active roster, or tight end Nate Lawrie with the team's practice squad. "We already had to revise everything anyway, things we did offensively," (head coach Marvin) Lewis said. "We started the game plan on Monday, so basically that's not a big worry.

We talked with (quarterback) Carson (Palmer) Sunday night, and he started to make the revisions Sunday night with the offensive coaches."
