Team healthy preparing for Browns
Updated at 2:20 p.m.: At the start of practice, none of the four players listed as probable were participating in practice: defensive tackle Sam Adams (knee), left tackle Levi Jones (sprained ankle), cornerback Deltha O'Neal (knee) and wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh (heel).
The Bengals are practicing in full pads and uniform pants.
From earlier Marvin Lewis news conference: Four Bengals players were listed early this afternoon on the team's unofficial injury report by coach Marvin Lewis.
Wide receiver Antonio Chatman (groin) is out, though "always subject to change," Lewis said.
He listed four players as probable: defensive tackle Sam Adams (knee), wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh (heel), left offensive tackle Levi Jones (ankle) and cornerback Deltha O'Neal (knee).
Jones re-sprained his ankle during the Chiefs game, Lewis said.
Houshmandzadeh missed the Kansas City game but could play Sunday.
Lewis also said the Bengals are not looking past the Browns, who are 0-1 and played poorly in their home opener, losing to the Saints.
"It's an important game, it's our home opener, it's a division game," Lewis said. "Our guys will be excited. It will be fun."
Lewis said he is impressed with Browns quarterback Charlie Frye and how he "makes plays with his feet, whether running for the first down or running and throwing."
Lewis also said the Bengals defense will have to account for gifted tight end Kellen Winslow Jr., whom he said can run like Baltimore tight end Todd Heap and whom the Browns use in a variety of ways as a receiver.
Defensive end Robert Geathers will learn by Friday whether the NFL will fine him for the hit on Kansas City quarterback Trent Green. Lewis had no comment on Geathers' hit.

ESPN is reporting no fine per review of rules and film indicating Geathers was pushed into Green.
