Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah (calf) is listed as doubtful and defensive end Wallace Gilberry (calf) is questionable for Sunday’s home game against the Buffalo Bills.

All other Bengals are expected to play, including linebacker Rey Maualuga, who missed Monday’s game against the Giants with a fibula injury.

Gilberry left Monday’s game in the fourth quarter and did not return. He practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, sat out Thursday and was a full participant Friday. Uzomah suffered the calf injury in Thursday’s practice and missed Friday’s session.

The Bills have ruled out starting defensive tackle Corbin Bryant (shoulder), but defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (groin) could be poised to play just his second game of the season as he is one of five Buffalo players listed as questionable.

Two other starters, linebacker Jerry Hughes (hand) — who is second on the team with five sacks — and wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) — who leads the Bills in receptions (39) and receiving yards (452) — are questionable, along with backup wide receivers Walt Powell (hip) and Justin Hunter (groin).
