Marvin Lewis does a morning appearance spot on XM radio every Thursday. He spoke to this today and said that he's ready to practice, but was not expected to play for at least a week or two.
I know we all understand football shape and being in physical shape and the differences. If I was to bet, we will not see him this week. I hope I'm wrong and he's ready, but I'd rather err on the side of caution and let him be football ready first.
Also, Marvin also said that Ben would not come back if he wasn't completely healthy as there's way too much season left to risk him playing. I agree with this as well. If Ben is in, he will be 100% or damn close to it. He's not going to be like an 80 year old man out there if he's in- he will be able to move.
