The four-year veteran is expected to spell Shayne Graham on kickoffs for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Graham has been bothered by a sore groin, but will likely still kick field goals and extra points. Rayner has kicked with Indianapolis, Green Bay, Kansas City and San Diego.

| Cincinnati, OH (Best E Casino) - The Cincinnati Bengals will start Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback on Sunday against the New York Jets, as Carson Palmer continues to recover from an elbow injury. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis made the announcement after practice on Friday and did not rule out the possibility of Palmer being the backup for the game. "We're trying to get it not a week-to-week thing," said Lewis. "We want to get the thing calmed down so it doesn't give him any irritation or problems at all." Fit |

On Friday, Rodgers didn't throw at practice with coach Mike McCarthy saying it was a medical decision to keep the QB limited in his workout. A former first-round pick, the 24-year-old has passed for 1,274 yards with nine touchdowns and four interceptions in five games this season, his first as a starter since replacing Brett Favre, who was traded to the New York Jets. |

Boldin underwent surgery on a fractured facial bone last Thursday after he suffered a helmet-to-helmet hit on September 28 against the New York Jets.

The Cards put up some big offensive numbers despite being without wideout Anquan Boldin, who was out after having surgery on a fractured facial bone suffered from a helmet-to-helmet hit the previous weekend in a loss to the New York Jets. With Arizona on the bye after this game, it is unlikely Boldin, whose five touchdown receptions are tied for the league lead with Owens and San Diego's Chris Chambers of San Diego, will suit up for this game either.

Smith was disciplined by the NFL for the hit on Boldin, who was in a defenseless position when contact was made, late in the fourth quarter of the Jets' 56-35 win in on September 28.
