Squaring off with Antwan Odom

OWINGS MILLS, Md.—The Baltimore Ravens have to contend with Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Antwan Odom(notes), one of the top pass rushers in the league.
Odom is facing a four-game suspension for violating the nfl jersey
NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy, but is being allowed to play while he goes through the appeals process.
“Is he going to be in the game?” Harbaugh said. “Darn, I still had my hopes up for that. He’s a premier pass rusher, got to account for him. Got to know where he’s at all times.”
As a rookie last year, Michael Oher(notes) shut down Odom after the veteran entered the game with a league-high eight sacks.
“He’s a good player,” Oher said. “He’s a proven player. You definitely got to come to play.”
Odom ended last season on injured reserve after tearing his Achilles’ tendon.
The Ravens don’t plan to change their offensive line configuration. Marshal Yanda(notes) will remain at right tackle and Chris Chester(notes) will start again at right guard.
Odom wasn’t especially effective in a loss to the New England Patriots last season, but he has the Ravens’ full respect.
“He’s a darn good football player,” Yanda said. “It looks like he’s back and healthy, so he’s a good pass rusher. He gets a bunch of sacks. We need to look out for him and do our best against him.”
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP)—Beanie Wells(notes) was limited in practice again on Friday and Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt says the running back’s participation against Atlanta on Sunday will be a game-time decision.
Wells has been limited in practice all week because of Indianapolis Colts jersey
a bruised right knee. He gave the knee a strong test on Thursday and insisted afterward that he would “definitely” go through a full practice on Friday. But Whisenhunt said the knee swelled up a bit overnight so Wells was limited again.
The second-year pro from Ohio State, Arizona’s leading rusher last season, sat out last week’s season-opening victory at St. Louis. He was injured against the Washington Redskins in the final preseason game on Sept. 2.
Wells was listed as questionable for Atlanta, as were teammates defensive end Kenny Iwebema(notes) (knee) and safety Hamza Abdullah(notes) (groin).
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP)—Atlanta Falcons receiver Michael Jenkins(notes) will miss Sunday’s game against Arizona because of a shoulder injury.
Jenkins had not practiced all week and the Falcons ruled him out Friday. He was injured six weeks ago in a scrimmmage before the first preseason game and hasn’t had any contact since then.
Harry Douglas(notes) started in place of Jenkins in the season opener, a 15-9 loss at Pittsburgh.
Safety Erik Coleman(notes) has not practiced all week because of Dallas Cowboys jersey
an injured left knee. He was hurt against the Steelers but returned to finish the game. The team listed him as questionable for Sunday.
If Coleman can’t go, second-year player William Moore(notes) would likely get the start.
