The following article should be welcome news for the Carson Palmer to Chad Johnson long-ball connection that's been in hiding so far this year:

CB Baxter, RB Suggs doubtful for Browns opener

 

Sep. 7, 2005

CBS SportsLine.com wire reports

 

BEREA, Ohio -- Cornerback Gary Baxter and running back Lee Suggs were listed as doubtful on Cleveland's first injury report of the season, another sign they may miss the Browns' opener against Cincinnati.

Baxter hasn't practiced since sustaining a concussion in an Aug. 20 exhibition against Detroit. Browns coach Romeo Crennel said Baxter was scheduled to see a doctor on Wednesday.

If Baxter can't play, Leigh Bodden will start at right cornerback on Sunday, with Daylon McCutcheon on the other side. McCutcheon missed all of training camp and most of the exhibition season with migraine headaches.

If McCutcheon is rusty, Baxter is out and a former special teamer - Leigh Bodden - is starting at CB, the Bengals better be able to pass effectively to their WR's. Let's hope the CP to CJ connection opens the season with a huge BANG!
