Coaches shuffle offensive line in final audition

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Bengals have difficult decisions to make Saturday on the offensive line.

When quarterback Anthony Wright and the rest of the second team-offense took over late in the first quarter, the Bengals put Ben Wilkerson at center and Eric Ghiaciuc at left guard. Center is the primary position for both players.

Ghiaciuc was the team's fifth-round pick in 2005 and started one game at center, at Jacksonville, when starter Rich Braham was hurt. Wilkerson, the top-rated college center in 2004 until he suffered a serious knee injury in his final college game for LSU, spent the 2005 season on the Bengals non-football/injured reserve list. He cleared his physical in time to participate fully in training camp.
