Bobbie WilliamsMark Curnutte reported on Monday that Bobbie Williams, out with appendicitis, should be back this Sunday against the Raiders. Stacy Andrews has been Williams replacement, and he's done an excellent job of it, but having Williams back is certainly a good thing. He participated in practice yesterday, so it seems as if it's a lock that he'll be starting.

Other injury notes:

  • Kelley Washington, Brian Simmons, and Deltha O'Neal all practiced. I can't wait to see O'Neal and Washington back on the field, particularly Deltha. The Bengals defense will only get better when he returns.
  • Eric Ghiaciuc is off crutches and said to be doing better. My guess is that Ben Wilkerson will play this Sunday, and then we'll see Rich Braham back for Indy in two weeks, but that's only my guess. If the Bengals get Braham back for the final three games that'd certainly be a big boost.
  • Tab Perry said his hip injury isn't as bad as Bo Jackson's, so yeah, that's good news.
Last year I honestly think the Bengals peaked a little too early, but we might be seeing the reverse this season. The Bengals have been playing their best football of the year lately, and they seem to be getting healthy right on time.
