The Bengals practiced over the noon hour inside Paul Brown Stadium today, and coach Marvin Lewis said tailback Rudi Johnson completed a solid week of practice. Johnson will play Sunday and could see extensive work for the first time since injuring his leg Sept. 23 at Seattle.

Johnson and Kenny Watson, who started the past four games, will split the workload, Lewis said. How that will break down is still uncertain. "Let's just go play football," Lewis said this afternoon.

Lewis said defensive end Justin Smith, who did not practice Wednesday because of a hamstring strain, will start against the Bills.

Defensive tackle John Thornton, who suffered a neck stinger in the loss Sunday to the Steelers, might or might not play. Lewis said that decision would be made before Sunday but announced at 11:30 a.m. with the inactives. Michael Myers would start in Thornton's place, Lewis said.
