Rookie defensive end Michael Johnson got his first NFL start Thursday night when ends Antwan Odom (Achilles) and Frostee Rucker (hip) were scratched from the Bengals' third preseason game against the Rams in the Paul Brown Stadium opener.

As expected, J.T. O'Sullivan got the start in place of Carson Palmer (ankle) at quarterback. Unexpectedly, Chinedum Ndukwe got the the start at free safety in place of Chris Crocker, ailment unknown.

Also out for the Bengals are the two rookie defensive tackles, Clinton McDonald (ankle) and Pernell Phillips (leg) as well as kicker Shayne Graham (groin). The other scratches have yet to play in the preseason: Cornerback David Jones (foot), tight end Ben Utecht (concussion), wide receiver Antonio Chatman (ankle), and tight end Matt Sherry (shoulder).

Good to see him getting plenty of play time,bad that at it's expense of Odom being injured again.

alot of the starters have "Injuries" Seems like they couldn't even make up an excuse for Crocker.

Hopefully MJ can get a sack. Seems like he'll go against Barron and J. Smith.
