Lewis: Team came out of Carolina game healthy

The Bengals will be without four players Sunday for the Atlanta game: center Rich Braham, left tackle Levi Jones, wide receiver Kelley Washington and quarterback Anthony Wright.

Linebacker Rashad Jeanty (foot) will be questionable, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. He also said safety Dexter Jackson (ankle) and wide receiver Antonio Chatman (groin) will be probable. Chatman said his sore groin was aggravated when Carolina players grabbed his "private area" a couple of different times in piles.

Lewis also said tailback Chris Perry weathered his first action of the season well. Lewis declined to reveal whether he would re-instate wide receiver Chris Henry to the roster and play him Sunday against Atlanta. "He could be on the team and down," Lewis said of the possibility that Henry would not play even if he were activated.

Henry can return to practice Wednesday after serving his two-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse and personal conduct policies.

Lewis woould be a fool not to activate and play Chris Henry. He has proved his point. Now it's time to win games.

lewis can do whatever he wants in regads to hery's playing time. the union or the league have no say in the matter. the have to pay him, but they don't have to play him. Remember Terrel Owens in Philly?

That being said, I agree Henry has paid an appropriate price. Marvin gave him one more game off than the league mandated. Hopefully he learned his lesson(but I'm not holding my breath).
