It is being reported that Brandon Thompson is heading for IR with knee injury with DeShawn Williams coming off the practice squad
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski 32m32 minutes ago
League sources indicate #Bengals will make a roster move - promoting DeShawn Williams off the PS. B.Thompson suffered a knee injury v Balt.
No roster moves involving Hewitt which indicates his MCL will heal before the Super Bowl
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.

Kid played well from what I saw in pre-season. Hope he takes his chance and shines, because Thompson is a player who can definitely be upgraded.

I'm glad Williams is getting promoted. I'm wondering if he'll be active on Saturday.

I hope he is.
Deserves his chance to shine. Probably should have made the 53 over Thompson.

Two vastly different players. I had high hopes for seeing Williams and Geno on the inside with their quickness on 3rd downs.

Our defense seemed to play better run defense when B Thom was in there. Hopefully Williams can step up

If Williams plays, he'll definitely aide in the pass rush department.

The way 44 was moving that big body around and helping Hill have the best game of the season.....there's no need to rush Hew!

I would Say hewitt makes some nice catches for us... Kroft has filled in nicely there...
Can say i wouldnt be sad to see Hewitt Eifert as TEs Obg as the Extra Tackle and Fisher as the FB for Hill in a jumbo package.

Speaking of FB's . . Whatever happened to lining up Peko at FB in Goal line situations? I don't think they've done it at all this year

So which DTs will be active Saturday?
Locks: Geno and Peko
Probably: Sims
Possibly Hardison who has been inactive every week but on the 53, doubt Williams unless there's an injury in practice this week. My guess is, just the 3 veteran DT's with Gillberry filling in when needed.

Love to see this kid bring his fire to the D line rotation for the playoffs.

I actually really like DeShawn Williams.He balled out in preseason and I felt like he should be playing.He is super fast and hits like a freight train and he can get to the qb.I hope he gets a chance to play.PLEASE,MARVIN,PLAY THIS GUY,HE IS A QB KILLER,SUPER STRONG AND FAST AND OH YES ,HE IS NASTY.

Pat Sims when he wants to can bring pressure on their o-line and he is a run stopper if they try up the middle,but he tires easily and has to have a blow which is expected with his weight and size.Hopefully he plays lights out.

First it is preseason going against 2nd and 3rd strings..
Second, if he was that great as you make out to be,, he would not have been on practice squad all year. I do not see him being active anyway i say they go with Sims.. I prefer to have experience in there in Sims in a crucial playoff game...

I don't overhype practice squad players, but I like the looks of Williams. He may not even be active Saturday, but I feel like he is a pretty good player to be on the practice squad.

As much "hype" as he got this pre season Im surprised he hasn't been activated or claimed off the practice squad?

Fisher is the new jumbo sized FB.
