Pat Sims

Sims is a rotational player on this Cincinnati defense, so they will survive if he isn't active on Sunday. Belief is though that he should be good to go when all is said and done.

Sims will continue to be part of a rotation on the defensive line for the Bengals that finished in the top 10 in rushing defense. Sims only played eight games last season, but the Bengals must see something in the defensive tackle to bring him back.

Sims is coming home after spending the last two seasons in Oakland. He is unlikely to have a starting role, but will immediately help the Bengals with their run defense when he's on the field.

Sims played in all 16 games for Oakland this year, but only started in two of them. He registered 25 tackles, but had no sacks.
