Odom, T.J., Chad are on the practice field
BENGALS UPDATE:
FULL STRENGTH
EXCEPT FOR TWO
NDUKWE & SIMS
NOT PRACTICING
WR Chad Johnson (shoulder), WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh (hamstring), WR Andre Caldwell (foot) and DE Antwan Odom (foot) are practicing.
SS Chinedum Ndukwe (knee) and DT Pat Sims (toe) are NOT practicing.
Caldwell showed up on the field without a helmet and pads … rushed back inside … and was back on the field in helmet and pads.
Interpretation: He got cleared to participate.
CARSON PALMER … loves playing on the road, and really, really likes M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
P.S. Baltimore is LUDWIG AT LARGE’S favorite road trip and favorite “hut” (stadium).
IN CARSON’S WORDS:
“Baltimore has as great a stadium and fan participation as there is in this league. You walk into that stadium and it’s going nuts. Beautiful stadium. It’s huge. You guys know. You’ve seen the big screen. The starting introductions. It’s the real deal.
“Everything is very classy. Very first rate. You get that feel playing against them, and then knowing guys on their team and hearing things that go on there. You just get that when you walk in. It just feels good to be on that field. Plus, you throw in their rowdy crowd.
“It’s such a hostile environment. Even during the day for a 1 o’clock game, that place is rockin’ and rollin’. And then Ray (Lewis) comes out and does his dance. You’re just in awe of the situation. Add on top of that it’s opening day. It’s just a great experience.”
