Cincinnati Bengals team report: Dunlap leg injury doesn't appear serious

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Cincinnati Bengals DE Carlos Dunlap, who is one of the key pieces on the defensive line, left Sunday's game against Tennessee late in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. But Dunlap said after the 24-17 win that it was more a matter of his leg cramping up.

Dunlap was walking around the locker room normally after the game and should be ready to play next Sunday when the 6-2 Bengals host the Pittsburgh Steelers.

NOTES: The outlook on RB Brian Leonard is a little more up in the air. Leonard suffered a knee injury during the fourth quarter, and coach Marvin Lewis said that Leonard might not practice Wednesday. Leonard's status beyond that is unknown.

Leonard has been an integral part of the Bengals’ third-down schemes because of his versatility as a blocker and receiver out of the backfield.

LB Rey Maualuga (ankle), TE Jermaine Gresham (hamstring) and CB/PR Adam Jones (hamstring), all of whom missed the Tennessee game, could be back to face Pittsburgh. Maualuga has missed the last three games and Gresham the last two. Jones has been in for only one play this season.
