Lewis on Graham: `We'll see'

ATLANTA -- The Bengals might have suffered a third serious preseason injury in the 24-19 loss to the Falcons.

Kicker Shayne Graham left the game with a hip pointer while trying to tackle Atlanta kickoff return man Allen Rossum on a 59-yard return in the second quarter.

"I don’t know exactly what happened, but I have a feeling it will be OK," Graham said after the game. He did not kick in the second half.

Head coach Marvin Lewis said if it were a regular season game that Graham might have kicked.

"He would have come back," Lewis said.

But asked if he might have to sign another kicker, Lewis said, "We’ll see."

Punter Kyle Larson kicked-off after Cincinnati’s second touchdown. The Bengals went for a two-point conversion on that score. If it were a regular season game, Larson would have kicked extra points.

Safety Dexter Jackson suffered a concussion in first half but is not expected to miss much time. He will be examined before he can return.

Rookie running back Kenny Irons showed up at the Georgia Dome on crutches. He suffered a season-ending knee injury in the preseason opener and had surgery. He said he would return to Birmingham, Ala., on Wednesday for a checkup and would be back in Cincinnati a few days before the regular-season opener Sept. 10. He did say he was suffering more swelling than had been expected.
