The Cincinnati Bengals have stated that offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth is questionable for their clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday.
Whitworth has been out of action since training camp with a knee injury, but has made significant progress in his recovery to come into selection for his side's game against their AFC North rivals.
"He's had a good week of preparation, work," head coach Marvin Lewis told the club's official website.
"He feels good physically. Very good physically. He's been proving to me he feels very good physically."
The Bengals lost their season opener against the Chicago Bears.
