CINCINNATI (AP)Cornerback Darqueze Dennard won’t be wearing a sweatshirt for the season opener Womens Shawn Williams Jersey , and that alone is a huge step forward for the first-round draft pick. The Bengals have an opening at cornerback for their game Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens at Paul Brown Stadium, and Dennard is first in line. The fourth-year veteran made it through training camp without injury, which is an accomplishment. ”It’s the first time I’m actually healthy to play,” Dennard said, coming off the practice field on Wednesday. ”All the rest of times, I’ve gotten hurt in preseason and it made me miss the first game. I’m excited.” The Bengals haven’t tipped their hand on how exactly they’ll replace Jones. Defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said William Jackson III also will get in for a significant number of plays. Dennard, the 24th overall pick in 2014, is listed as the starter. ”We could do a lot of different combinations, and it’s really important for the first couple of games because they’re not used to playing as many snaps Womens Josh Malone Jersey ,” Guenther said. ”I anticipate using every guy that’s dressed on defense, really.” It’ll be a chance for Dennard and Jackson to emerge. Dennard has made four starts during three injury-marred seasons. He missed time as a rookie with hip and hamstring injuries. We went on injured reserve in 2015 with a shoulder injury. Last year, he suffered an ankle injury during training camp that lingered into the season. Jackson was the 24th overall pick in 2016. He missed his rookie season after tearing a chest muscle during training camp. Jackson had an impressive camp this year, but still looks like a rookie at times. ”He’s done certain things that have been stellar,” coach Marvin Lewis said. ”There are other things that we’re just trying to get him caught up on a little bit and get him up to speed. That’s part of being a young player.” Jackson’s speed and instincts were on display during camp. He’ll be ready for a bigger role when he becomes more comfortable with some of the intricacies of the defense. ”He didn’t get the practice time last year,” Guenther said. ”(He’s) just going through the details of all the little adjustments we make and what formations we may get. He’s pretty much on top of everything we’re doing now.” When Jones returns from his one-game suspension by the NFL for his offseason misdemeanor conviction, Dennard and Jackson will be back to competing for time as the No. 3 cornerback. ”I’m used to it by now,” Dennard said. ”When I first got here, we had five first-round corners. I’ve been around it all along. I’ve embraced it.” ROSS LIMITED: WR John Ross worked out on a side field Wednesday. The first-round pick twisted his left knee in the final preseason game and is unlikely to play on Sunday. He missed the first two preseason games because he was still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. ”It comes with the territory Hardy Nickerson Jersey White , it comes with the sport,” Ross said. ”Things happen every week. You can’t project what’s going to happen, but it’s nothing horrible.” HEALTHY ROSTER: Two other players who were injured during camp – TE C.J. Uzomah (ankle) and S Shawn Williams (elbow) – didn’t practice. Everyone else fully participated. REY MOVES UP: While the young cornerbacks fill in one game while Jones is suspended, Vincent Rey moves into Burfict’s spot for three games. Rey also filled in last season while Burfict was suspended for the first three games over his hit to Antonio Brown’s head in the playoffs. ROSTER COMPLETE: The Bengals claimed DT Christian Ringo off waivers from Green Bay, filling the last opening on their 53-man roster. Ringo was a sixth-round pick in 2015 and spent his rookie year on the Packers’ practice squad. He played in eight games last season. — The Bengals are in great shape to make the playoffs as they hit the bye week with a 5-3 record.However, a number of games taking place this weekend can impact Cincinnati’s playoff chances, even though they won’t be in action on Sunday. Here is a look at the biggest games taking place this weekend and who Bengals fans should be working for.Jets at DolphinsThe Dolphins are one of the few AFC teams who still have a realistic shot at the playoffs. At 4-4, they’ll need to win two more games than the Bengals to make the playoffs since the Bengals have a head-to-head win. But Miami has a manageable schedule the rest of the way, so they could easily get back in the mix for a Wild Card spot that the Bengals may be competing for if they don’t win the division. It’s unlikely Miami catches Cincinnati Vontaze Burfict Jersey White , but a loss here would end any hope of that happening. Root for the JetsChargers at SeahawksThe Chargers are already in great shape to make the playoffs with a 5-2 record, but a loss here would put them in a tie with the Bengals. Ideally, the Chargers lose several games down the stretch and allow the Bengals to jump ahead of them in the playoff standings. There’s a chance the Bengals and Chargers are fighting for the final playoff spot, so seeing the latter lose this week is helpful, especially since it’s going to be very hard for the Bengals to win in Los Angeles later this year. Root for the SeahawksSteelers at RavensThe Steelers and Ravens have their second matchup after the latter won at Pittsburgh earlier this season. A sweep here would severely damage the Steelers’ hopes of winning a division, while a loss for Baltimore would really damage their playoff hopes. Now, there’s two ways you can look at this: If the Ravens lose, the Bengals will be ahead of them by 1.5 in the playoff standings, which means the latter is in great shape for one of those two Wild Card spots.2If the Steelers lose Womens Clark Harris Jersey , the Bengals jump back into the lead for the AFC North. It’s going to be a tight race, so coming out of the bye with a lead would be great for Cincinnati.The good thing is it’s clear the Bengals can benefit from either scenario, but really, there isn’t much doubt among Bengals fans on who to root for this week.Root for the Ravens
