Injury Dings Spread
Bengals RB Johnson Out for Monday
The New England Patriots have a few additions to Thursday's injury report, but none appear serious. Eleven Patriots are listed under "limited participation in practice." The Patriots will play Cincinnati on Monday Night Football.
Cincinnati, however, has players listed in all categories, the most important entry being starting running back Rudi Johnson, who strained a hamstring in Sunday's loss to Seattle. Sixth-year running back Kenny Watson is expected to start in Johnson's place. Johnson is currently 22nd in the league in rushing. He had just 9 yards on 17 carries Sunday before straining his hamstring against the Seahawks.
Starting linebacker Rashad Jeanty is also out for the Bengals. Wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh and right offensive tackle Willie Anderson also sat out practice.
