Injuries leave offense lacking synchronicity
Starting receivers have rarely practiced

The Columbus Dispatch
CINCINNATI -- The Bengals practiced without Chad Johnson or T.J. Houshmandzadeh yesterday. It was the 39th time in 40 practices that one or both of the Pro Bowl receivers was absent, dating to the 12 voluntary offseason practices that both skipped.
The only time this summer they both participated in practice was the fifth and final workout of minicamp, and it might be the only time they take the field together before the season opener Sept. 7. Running back Rudi Johnson also has missed much of training camp because of a hamstring injury, and tackles Willie Anderson and Levi Jones have been given occasional days off to rest their legs.

Saints 13 | Bengals 0
First-string offense hears it from the fans
Palmer, company fail to move ball in first half vs. Saints
Sunday, August 24, 2008 3:49 AM

The Columbus Dispatch
CINCINNATI -- Two signs of protest, each critical of Bengals owner Mike Brown, were hung inside Paul Brown Stadium last night. Security guards pulled them down before the team's offense gained a yard.
The sounds of protest are not so easily removed, so the boos rained freely by the middle of the second quarter.
The Bengals lost to the New Orleans Saints 13-0, as the first-string offense again could not move the ball consistently and the first-string defense again generated virtually no pass rush. Quarterback Carson Palmer walked into the locker room just before halftime with blood pouring from his nose and mouth. When his teammates followed moments later, the jeers returned with a passion.
The exits were crowded in the third quarter. Those fans who wanted to beat the traffic remained in their seats until the final whistle. A frustrating offseason and discouraging preseason have sapped much of the optimism that the salary-capped, revenue-sharing NFL usually provides.

ESPN - Palmer leaves game in first half with bloody nose, cut lip - NFL

Palmer leaves game in first half with bloody nose, cut lip
CINCINNATI -- Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer got roughed up again during a preseason game against the New Orleans Saints on Saturday night, leaving late in the first half with a bloody nose and a cut lip.
Palmer was sacked three times in the first half, the last on a safety blitz by Kevin Kaesviharn with 2 seconds left. He walked off the field with blood spilling down the front of his face, then headed to the locker room with a towel covering his head. He didn't return for the second half.
Palmer got knocked to the ground five times during a 27-10 loss to Detroit a week earlier.

Bengals
Palmer could be out until opener
Monday, August 25, 2008 2:56 AM
 David Kohl Associated Press
A battered and bloodied Carson Palmer leaves the field Saturday night with a broken nose. He is questionable for the Bengals' preseason finale Thursday in Indianapolis.
CINCINNATI -- Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer had his broken nose re-set yesterday, and he is questionable for the team's final preseason game Thursday in Indianapolis. He is expected to be ready for the regular-season opener Sept. 7 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Palmer suffered the broken nose late in the second quarter Saturday in what would be a 13-0 loss to New Orleans. He was leveled by safety Kevin Kaesviharn and end Bobby McCray for the Saints' third sack of the game, equaling in two quarters the number of sacks the Bengals allowed in the final six games last season.
"To see Carson get hit, it really hurts me deeply," guard Bobbie Williams said after the game. "We have to correct that, point blank. ... We absolutely cannot let Carson get hit like that."
