Ryan Fitzpatrick will start for Carson Palmer on Sunday, but other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Well, here's the other stuff that may get lost after that bit of (understandably important) news.

* The Bengals are bringing in kickers today, but Lewis expects Shayne Graham (right groin) to be able to kick field goals and extra points. If they sign someone, it will likely be just for kick off duties.

"We'll make that determination over the weekend, too," Lewis said. "I believe he'll be good to do field goals and we may add a player to kick off. We'll see."

* DT John Thornton was getting an MRI for "soreness in his lower leg." That could mean the debut of third-round pick Pat Sims.

"I’d like to get Pat up and going, we’re hopeful, but he got dinged up on Wednesday," Lewis said. "He was better today than he was Wednesday and I hope he’ll be ready to go."

* And more on Palmer.

When Lewis stated, "We'll see how Carson is on Sunday, but Ryan will start the game," I followed up with the natural question, "so are you saying there's a chance Carson can be the second QB?"

Lewis' response, "I'll make that determination on Sunday."

Fitzpatrick said he was better prepared last week than he was the week before and feels good about this week.

"That’s how it was last week as well, as far as me getting the Wednesday and Thursday practice, it’s just that Carson was ruled out this week," Fitzpatrick said. "I got to do all the reps on Friday as well."

* OT Levi Jones sat out practice, he's in the third of four treatments on his knee that will cause him to miss Friday practices.

* The Jets will be wearing the old New York Titans uniforms again this weekend. The blue ones, you know?
