DT Thornton doubtful with knee injury

Defensive tackle John Thornton's consecutive games started streak will likely come to an end Thursday night at 59. He is doubtful with a knee injury and did not practice today.

Left tackle Levi Jones (knee) and right guard Bobbie Williams (appendix) are out.

But center Rich Braham (knee), out since Week 2 is upgraded to questionable and could play against the Ravens. He did not officially practice in 11-on-11 team drills but was on the field in full gear for practice.

Two other players are questionable and did not practice: cornerback Deltha O'Neal (shoulder) and wide receiver Kelley Washington (hamstring).

Defensive tackle Sam Adams (knee) is probable but did not officially practice. Linebacker Brian Simmons (neck) was upgraded this week to probable and did practice. He is likely to play, which would boost the Bengals defense.

For the Ravens, three key starters are questionable and did not practice today: tight end Todd Heap (back), tailback Jamal Lewis (foot) and linebacker Adalius Thomas (ankle). All three are expected to play.

i see bengals.com defending the chris perry pick at all costs but the guy has been a huge disapointment. He is the most fragile running back since Kijana carter. why would we spend a first round pick on a often injured 3rd down back when we had so many holes to fill? I remember there were a couple of stud CB's available at his slot but we passed. Steven Jackson has been a stud in STL. To say his style is too much like rudi's is to say the combo of corey dillon and Lawrence Maroney is not working out. Both are bruisers. In the NFL, you can't waste first round picks and that's exactly what we did.
