Haynesworth out for Titans

The Tennessee Titans will be without star defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth today. He is inactive because of a lingering hamstring injury. Randy Starks will start in place of Haynesworth.

Haynesworth has missed the past two games, both losses for Tennessee. The Titans allowed 166 rushing yards in consecutive losses to Jacksonville and Denver. In the previous eight games, with Hayneworth playing, the Titans allowed an average of fewer than 67 rushing yards.

Bengals special teams will be without leading tackler Herana-Daze Jones, who is inactive for the game today with Tennessee because of a knee injury.

Other Bengals inactives are cornerback David Jones, center Dan Santucci, right tackle Willie Anderson, tight end Nate Lawrie, defensive end Frostee Rucker and linebacker Roy Manning. Jeff Rowe is the third quarterback.

Stacy Andrews will start at right tackle for the sixth time in place of Anderson.

For the third game in a row, rookie Leon Hall will start ahead of Deltha O'Neal. Hall will start at right cornerback, with regular right cornerback Johnathan Joseph sliding over to left corner to start in O'Neal's former spot.

Other Tennessee inactives: wide receivers Paul Williams, Chris Davis and Mike Williams, cornerback Kelly Herndon, fullback Ahmard Hall, guard Benji Olson and defensive end Travis LaBoy. Eugene Amano will start at right guard in place of Olson.

You've gotta be kidding if you thought there was actually any hope left.

You've gotta be kidding if you thought the Bengals even had a chance at the beginning of the season.

You've gotta be kidding if you think a $ 500 million dollar stadium was even going to make the team competitive.

You gotta be kidding...
