UPDATED: 2:27 p.m. -- Marvin Lewis said this afternoon that Rudi Johnson, Kenny Watson and DeDe Dorsey would "all get a piece of the pie" Sunday at Buffalo in the running game. Lewis said right tackle Willie Anderson and linebacker Ahmad Brooks are out with knee and groin injuries, respectively.

Watson (concussion), defensive tackle John Thornton (stinger) and defensive end Justin Smith, all of whom did not practice today, would be back in practice Thursday.

Johnson said he was 100 percent and ready to play. He said he doesn't pay attention to whispers that he might have lost a step or that Watson should be starting ahead of him.

"When has any of that every bothered me?" Johnson said.

ORIGINAL POST: Tailback Rudi Johnson, who has missed three of the past four games with a hamstring injury, is back on the field practicing on a Wednesday for the first time since Sept. 19. Johnson had played in the previous 64 games in a row prior to being inactive Oct. 1 against New England. He played briefly at Kansas City on Oct. 14 but missed the Jets and Steelers games the past two Sundays.

Johnson is expected to play Sunday at Buffalo.

The Bengals will be trying to snap a five-game road losing streak. They have not won away from home since winning at Cleveland on Nov. 26, 2006. The Bengals lost in Cleveland, 51-45, on Sept. 16 -- one of their three losses in a row away from home this year. They are 0-3 on the road in 2007 and 2-2 at home.

Meanwhile, Kenny Watson, who has started the past four games, is not practicing because of the concussion he suffered at the end of the Steelers game Sunday.

Also practicing are wide receiver Antonio Chatman and defensive end Frostee Rucker, who often are on the injury report.

Not practicing: defensive tackle John Thornton (stinger), defensive end Justin Smith (injury or reason not known) and linebacker Ahmad Brooks (groin).

Wide receiver Chris Henry is practicing. His suspension is scheduled to end with the Bengals game Sunday at Buffalo -- Cincinnati's eighth game -- and Henry is eligible to play Nov. 11 at Baltimore.

Tailback Chris Perry, still on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, went out later for practice. Word around the Bengals is he will not officially practice until next week, which will start his three-week window before the Bengals would have to make a decision on a roster spot for Perry.
