Five changes in Bengals starting lineup

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Bengals have made five changes in their starting lineup for the second preseason game tonight against the Bills.

Anthony Wright will make his second preseason start at quarterback for Carson Palmer. Left tackle Levi Jones, who sprained his ankle Sunday night against the Redskins, will not play and will be replaced in the starting lineup by rookie Andrew Whitworth. Right tackle Willie Anderson is out tonight and will be replaced by Stacy Andrews. It is not known whether Anderson is injured or being given the night off to rest. He did not practice Wednesday.

On defense, Rashad Jeanty will start at strong-side linebacker in place of David Pollack, who continues to work his way back from a hamstring pull. Also, Shaun Smith is starting at defensive tackle for Sam Adams, who is not playing.

The list of Bengals not playing: Palmer, tailback Chris Perry, cornerback Greg Brooks, safety Kevin Kaesviharn, fullback Naufahu Tahi, safety Anthony Mitchell, defensive end Jonathan Fanene, offensive lineman Adam Kieft, Anderson, Jones, wide receiver Antonio Chatman, defensive end Frostee Rucker, Adams and Pollack.

Palmer worked out on the field at Ralph Wilson Stadium before the game with strength and conditioning coach Chip Morton and quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese.
