Bengals healthy; no word on C. Perry

The Bengals are not likely to announce any potential roster move on tailback Chris Perry until Wednesday. The team has 21 days from the first time Perry practiced, which will be Wednesday. He has been on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list since the start of the season.

Head coach Marvin Lewis said the team is relatively healthy and that he would have more information Wednesday.

Wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh has a bruised back.

Safety Dexter Jackson has a bruised hand and wrist.

Linebacker Landon Johnson has a cut on his arm.

Asked about right tackle Willie Anderson, Lewis said, "We'll see Wednesday."

Anderson missed his sixth game as inactive Sunday because of knee and heel injuries.

Linebacker Ahmad Brooks, who is on the season-ending injured reserve list, said he had surgery two weeks ago on his injured groin.

"They told me it was more serious than what I thought," Brooks said.

The surgery involved cutting the abductor muscle to release it and then reattaching by sewing it back into place.

"I just want to play," said Brooks, whose goal is to be 100 percent healthy for the offseason program beginning in April. "There's nothing I can do now but rest."

Mark,
I am proud of the Bengals for playing such a good game this past Sunday. While i realize that we will not make the playoffs...if we can beat the steelers (you know the team that took out Carson's knee on purpose so they could win that playoff game) and the Clowns -- it would make my season. I think when we are healthy we can beat anyone and I don't think our problems this year have anything to do with coaching. ITS ONCE AGAIN A GREAT DAY TO BE A BENGAL.

George In Zanesville.

With Brooks being injured for so long and then ending up having surgery speaks very poorly of
the doctor or whoever examined this individual.

For the kind of money that is being thrown about I think that they need to make better decisions than this.

Umm, Mark, I think if it's a groin injury it would be an adductor muscle, not an abductor.
