NASHVILLE _ Wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh won’t go here Sunday at The Coliseum against the Titans, but free safety Madieu Williams and defensive end Duane Clemons got the call for the Bengals as they try to bounce back from their first loss of the season. As expected, center Rich Braham returned to the starting lineup after missing the bulk of the last two games.
Williams is active but won’t start after injuring his shoulder 16 days ago late in a practice falling on his shoulder. He said earlier in the week he wasn’t sure how the injury is going to respond. He may need surgery after the season, but he said he wants to see if he can play with it for as long as he can.
As they have for the last three games, Kevin Kaesviharn and Ifeanyi Ohalete start at free and strong safety respectively.
