Bengals WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh: Houshmandzadeh didn't see any preseason action because of a lingering hamstring injury, but he said he's ready for the season opener against Cincinnati's AFC North rival. "I'm ready to lock and load," he told Bengals.com. Houshmandzadeh has caught a TD pass in four out of the last five games against the Ravens.
Ravens QB Joe Flacco: The Ravens' first-round pick went from being out of contention for the starting role to No.1 after Troy Smith fell ill and Kyle Boller suffered a shoulder injury. Flacco was 8-of-13 for 72 yards in his final preseason start and looked comfortable directing the offense by the time he took his last snap.
