Old home week, inactive players

BALTIMORE -- Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, former defensive coordinator for the Ravens, talked on the field just a few minutes ago with his former boss, Baltimore coach Brian Billick.

Wide receiver Chris Henry, making his first appearance of the 2007 season following his eight-game suspension, was on the field working out with starting wide receivers Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh.

For the Bengals, starting tight end Reggie Kelly (knee), safety Herana-Daze Jones (knee), defensive tackle John Thornton (neck), linebacker Anthony Schlegel (back), right tackle Willie Anderson (knee), linebacker Caleb Miller (back) and offensive lineman Dan Santucci are inactive.

Rookie Daniel Coats will start for Kelly at tight end.

Stacy Andrews will start for Anderson at right tackle.

Michael Myers will start at right defensive tackle for Thornton.

Landon Johnson will start at middle linebacker.

Dhani Jones will start at weak-side linebacker.

Leon Hall will start at left cornerback ahead of Deltha O'Neal, who is active. O'Neal missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with a knee injury. He is expected to play.

The Bengals will have an opportunity to take advantage of the Baltimore secondary. Both of its starting cornerbacks, Samari Rolle (illness) and Chris McAlister (knee) are inactive. So is fellow cornerback David Pittman.

The Ravens starting cornerbacks will be Derrick Martin and Corey Ivy.

But safety Ed Reed, tied for the NFL lead coming in with five interceptions, will play.
