ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The big question for the Cincinnati Bengals is this: When is Carson Palmer finally going to test his surgically repaired knee in a preseason game?

It won't happen Friday when the Bengals travel to play the Buffalo Bills. So Palmer's status remains the hot topic.

"This is just the normal progression of an injured player," former Bengals quarterback Boomer Esiason said this week. "He'll be here, and then all this stuff and this nonsense can stop because that's exactly what it is."

At least the Bengals can take solace in knowing they have a bona fide starter in Palmer, who led the team to its first postseason appearance since 1990 before he was hurt in the AFC wild-card game.

The Bengals have confidence, too, but their offensive development is on hold by Palmer's uncertain status. He has been practicing with the team and eyeing the game against Green Bay on Aug. 28.

"Carson's right on track," Lewis said. "He and I have discussed the things he's doing and when he's doing them. And we're going to continue with that despite all the outside rumors and influence."

Lewis then declined to say who would start against Buffalo.

Anthony Wright started and had a fair outing, going 9-of-16 for 101 yards and a touchdown, in Cincinnati's 19-3 win over Washington last weekend. Doug Johnson was a little better, going 11-of-14 for 128 yards and a TD while playing against the Redskins' second- and third-stringers.[/b]

I aint worried, Preseason games mean nothing, and all he has to do is give the ball to 85.
