| Cincinnati, OH (Best E Casino) - The Cincinnati Bengals added troubled wide receiver Chris Henry to the active roster on Saturday, following a return from a four-game suspension.

Charges for that arrest were later dropped, and, subsequently, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's indefinite suspension was revised to a four-game ban. Cincinnati brought Henry back into the fold four months |

| (Best E Casino) - It's safe to say the deck will be stacked against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Marvin Lewis' club will travel to Texas Stadium as massive underdogs to the Dallas Cowboys, a status that has just as much to do with the home team as it does the visitor. Dallas suffered a 26-24 home upset at the hands of the hated Washington Redskins last week, and in a crowded and talented NFC East, the Cowboys know they can ill-afford to lose another home game that they're expected to win.
