Another postcard from Cincinnati

CINCINNATI -- Here are some notes from Wednesday's practice, which was attended by 810 fans in 97-degree heat: Pro Bowl defensive tackle Geno Atkins didn't practice. He suited up, but the Bengals used rookie Devon Still and Nick Hayden in his spot. Atkins, who limped off the field in Tuesday's practice, said he expected to play in Friday's preseason opener. Rookie third-round pick Mohamed Sanu, who is battling for the No. 2 wide receiver spot, had an added role.
