Bengals WR Simpson back in starting lineup vs. Bills

Published: Oct 02, 2011 at 05:09 AM

Wide receiver Jerome Simpson was back in the Cincinnati Bengals' starting lineup Sunday against the unbeaten Buffalo Bills.

Simpson sat out the first few plays during a 13-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers last week. He'd missed two days of practice leading up to that game while under investigation for a marijuana shipment to his house. Simpson had one catch against the 49ers.

Bills right guard Kraig Urbik, who had been listed as doubtful with a knee injury, was inactive. Chad Rinehart started in his place. Cornerback Drayton Florence replaced Terrence McGee, who has a hamstring injury.
