INJURIES
CIN: OUT: Starting WR Marvin Jones (foot)
DOUBTFUL: Starting WLB Vontaze Burfict (concussion); Burfict left the first two games with a concussion and why not give him two weeks to get ready for the Patriots in the Sunday night Oct. 5 game? Starting RG Kevin Zeitler (calf) and rotational DT Brandon Thompson (knee) didn't practice this week and looks like they could be out about a month; Backup RB Rex Burkhead (knee) looks close but they've been pointing to New England with the extra week of rest. Backup LB Sean Porter (hamstring) hasn't been ready since the season started.
PROBABLE: Starting WR A.J. Green (toe) went limited Thursday and full go Friday and says it feels better than last week, when he went just five snaps after going full Friday. Starting defensive end Carlos Dunlap (knee) went full Friday after being limited Thursday. Backup S Shawn Williams (groin) went full Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday. Starting LT Andrew Whitworth (knee) and backup RG Mike Pollak, probably starting Sunday, both went full go Friday after sitting out a day.
TEN: QUESTIONABLE: Starting CB Jason McCourty (groin) after being limited all week.
PROBABLE: Starting ILB Wesley Woodyard went full go after appearing on the injury report Friday. RB Dexter McCluster (foot) went full the last two days after being limited Wednesday.

NOTEWORTHY
»» The Bengals can set the club's all-time record for most consecutive regular-season home victories with 11. They are stalking the record set by the 1988 (8) and 1989 (2) teams.
»» The last time new Titans head coach Ken Whisenhunt came to PBS, he called plays for the Chargers as their offensive coordinator in San Diego's 27-10 upset of the Bengals in last year's Wild Card Game.
»» Titans defensive coordinator Ray Horton was a Bengals second-round draft pick in 1983 and played six seasons at primarily cornerback. In his last regular-season game as a Bengal, he had an interception of quarterback Doug Williams in the Bengals' 20-17 overtime victory over Washington that gave the 1988 Bengals an 8-0 record at Riverfront Stadium.
»» Louie Cioffi is Horton's secondary coach, a tandem that was formed in Cincinnati. Horton coached the secondary for five seasons under Bruce Coslet and Dick LeBeau while Cioffi was a defensive assistant here for 14 seasons under Coslet, LeBeau, and Marvin Lewis.
»» Bengals linebackers coach Matt Burke worked in Tennessee from 2004-2008 as an administrative assistant and defensive assistant. He was here the last time the Titans were here, a 24-7 Tennessee victory on Sept. 14, 2008 when the remains of Hurricane Ike attacked PBS in the final three quarters with winds up to 70 miles per hour.
»» Bengals cornerback Adam Jones plays his first game against the team that made him the sixth pick of the 2005 draft.
»» It's the first time the Titans come to Cincinnati not coached by Jeff Fisher since they were the Houston Oilers on Nov. 13, 1994. The Bengals won that game on the last play, 34-31, at Riverfront Stadium in the throes of Blakemania. Oilers head coach Jack Pardee was fired the next day and Fisher was named coach.
»» The Bengals and the Oilers/Titans were in the old AFC Central Division from 1970-2001 and have played 73 times. The Bengals have only played Pittsburgh (88) and Cleveland (81) more.
