Final injury report and a note





Despite not practicing this entire week, T Jared Gaither (neck) is listed as questionable for this Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Head coach John Harbaugh didn't get into specifics regarding Gaither's status, but made it sound like the left tackle will be a game-time decision come Sunday.

Asked if he was expecting the team to play it safe with Gaither and rest him on Sunday, Harbaugh responded, "I don't expect anything right now. No expectations. We'll see how it goes on Sunday."
Other than Gaither, every Raven is listed as probable or better on the Ravens' injury report.

CB Chris Carr (groin), LB Tavares Gooden (shoulder), LB Jarret Johnson (shoulder), WR Derrick Mason (neck), DT Haloti Ngata (back), S Ed Reed (knee) and WR Demetrius Williams (illness) are all probable.

For the Bengals, LB Rashad Jeanty (finger) and OT Andre Smith (foot) have been ruled out.

Starting DT Tank Johnson (foot), S Chinedum Ndukwe (hamstring) and S Kyries Hebert (hip) are all listed as questionable, while starting RB Cedric Benson (hip), LB Rey Maualuga (knee), S Roy Williams (forearm), CB David Jones (foot) and DT Domata Peko (chest) are all probable.

On a sad note, Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer's wife Vikki passed away yesterday.

Head coach John Harbaugh began today's press conference by wishing the best to Zimmer and his family.

"On behalf of our players, our coaches and the whole organization, we want to offer our heartfelt condolences to the Zimmer family," Harbaugh said. "We have tremendous respect for Mike Zimmer and we just feel real bad and are very saddened for what happened."

Zimmer is in his second year in charge of Cincinnati's D, and he held the same role with the Falcons in 2007 and with the Cowboys from 2000-2006. Source masnsports.com
