CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick?said Wednesday he plans to play in Sundays game against the Dallas Cowboys after sitting out last weeks game.Kirkpatrick, the Bengals starting outside cornerback, had a hamstring issue flare up against the Broncos in Week 3 and wasnt able to make the quick turnaround for a Thursday night game against the Dolphins in Week 4.There was no way I was going to be able to get back on the field with the game being four days out, he said.Kirkpatrick said he feels around 90 percent healthy, helped by the extra rest after sitting out of practice last week. The hamstring has actually been a problem for several weeks now, he said.It was a short week, and it was already bothering me prior to the week, started in the Pittsburgh game [in Week 2] and got worse in the Denver game, he said. I just felt like it was best for me to take a break.With Kirkpatrick back, the Bengals will likely move Darqueze Dennard back to the slot. Dennard started in place of Kirkpatrick against the Dolphins. Wholesale Football Jerseys Throwback .

RENTON, Wash. -- To little surprise, Pete Carroll is giving the Seattle Seahawks an extra day of rest this week with a Monday night game coming up.Seattles defense has certainly earned the bonus day off. The same cant be said of the Seahawks offense.Over the past two weeks, Seattles been pushed to the limits defensively. After being on the field for 95 plays and more than 46 minutes a week ago against Arizona, the Seahawks defense was on the field for another 76 plays and more than 36 minutes in Sundays 25-20 loss to New Orleans.While the opponents are doing their part in exhausting Seattles defense, one of the major culprits is a struggling Seahawks offense that has one offensive touchdown in the past nine quarters.We need to get out of what weve been in here the last two weeks. This is not the way were going to play football. Were going to fix this, Carroll said Monday. It just happened back to back to us in very similar fashion and I cant wait to get back on the practice field. We all feel the same. There will be some things that will look different.Seattles lackluster offensive performance against the Saints came on the heels of last weeks overtime tie with Arizona where the Seahawks failed to find the end zone for the second time this season.The struggles against the Cardinals were chalked up to a divisional opponent that knows Seattle well and has given the Seahawks trouble in the past. But that was expected to be solved by a New Orleans defense that entered the week ranked 29th in the NFL.Instead, the Seahawks ran just 19 plays and had 3 yards rushing in the first half; finished with 74 yards rushing; and for the second straight week left their defense on the field for far too long.The core of Seattles problem continues to be inconsistency in the run game. There were flashes against New Orleans, including a strong drive to start the second half where Christine Michael had runs of nine, seven and eight yards. But the drive eventually stalled and Seattle had to settle for a field goal. It was the only drive of the game where Seattle had at leasst three running plays of more than five yards.ddddddddddddThere continues to be little threat of quarterback Russell Wilson running even as his health improves. Wilson ran three times for 11 yards against the Saints.We still feel like the potential is there to run. We feel like were more equipped than we were a year ago, Carroll said. We feel like we can be better. We feel like we can be more aggressive but there are some elements that are different in the run game this year than last year at this time. Part of it is we have not allowed Russell to take off and run very much and he has been very effective for us over the years. Weve had to take care of him and thats just part of the way this season has been.The Saints noticed Seattles lack of possession and were more than willing to stay patient with their run game in trying to wear down the Seahawks defense. The Saints had a season-high 35 carries for 123 yards rushing.We knew, coming into this game, that they had played a long game last week, said Saints running back Tim Hightower, who had 26 carries for 102 yards. They played a lot of plays in that overtime game, and they still were tired from that game and making that trip all the way across the country. All those things factor into a win like this.Game notes Carroll said DE Michael Bennetts right knee surgery was postponed from Monday to Wednesday and will take place in Los Angeles. Carroll said the timetable remains two to three weeks that Bennett will be out. ... Wilson played Sunday without an ankle brace for the first time since the season opener when he sprained his right ankle. Carroll added that Wilsons pectoral injury that limited him in practice last week should not linger into this week. ... RB Thomas Rawls (shin) wont play against Buffalo but has started running and should be back in the next few weeks.---AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
