Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey has been out since suffering a rib injury in the team’s Week Nine win over the Panthers. Shockey was removed from this week’s injury report, however, and is in the lineup for Sunday’s clash with the Bengals.
Inactive for New Orleans: Running back Pierre Thomas, offensive tackle Charles Brown, tight end Tory Humphrey, safety Matt Giordano, linebacker Ramon Humber, running back Ladell Betts, cornerback Leigh Torrence, and defensive end Junior Galette.
The Saints will start Reggie Bush at running back, with Julius Jones and Chris Ivory behind him.
Inactive for reeling Cincinnati: Defensive end Victor Adeyanju, offensive tackle Kirk Chambers, wide receiver Jerome Simpson, cornerbacks Brandon Ghee and Fred Bennett, running back Cedric Peerman, and center Reggie Stephens.
Rookie Dan LeFevour is the Bengals’ third quarterback. Cornerback Johnathan Joseph returns from a high ankle sprain.
