Per CBS Sportsline:Expect Housh to give it a go on Sunday. Chris Henry will reportedly get the start, but Houshmandzadeh will likely get into the action early, giving QB Carson Palmer another target downfield. Use him as a No. 3 receiver in deeper formats, but we recommend reserving him if you have a healthier alternative you trust because it will be his first game action of the regular season and it will come against a stingy Steelers defense

T.J. Houshmandzadeh is active for the Bengals as expected, but won't start.

Chris Henry will start at receiver. Inactives for Cincy: WR Reggie McNeal, S Dexter Jackson, LB A.J. Nicholson, C Rich Braham, WRs Antonio Chatman and Tab Perry and DE Frostee Rucker.

TJ stands for Touraj? Never knew that.

TJ should be good for about 5 catches and 60 yards with the possibility of a big play TD.
