Bengals DE Carlos Dunlap (knee) is expected to be ready for Cincinnati's season opener. Dunlap has been sidelined with a strained knee, but ran on Saturday and may suit up for the Bengals' preseason finale on Thursday. Dunlap will not begin the season as a starter, but is expected to spell LE Robert Geathers on passing downs. Dunlap tallied 9.5 sacks in 12 games as a rookie in 2010.
