It's not out of the question that he could get an int. in his first game back. I mean come on, look at the opponents QB. You either going against Jon "I throw games away" S*itna or Dan Orlovsaftey.
Kitna is supposedly going on IR.. so it's Orlovsky. He's not good.. but he looked better than Cincy's Fitzpatrick at least!
Thank GOD! I'm definitely expecting Dunta to come in on at least some nickel packages in this game, and hopefully he will supplant Reeves as a starter by the Minnesota game. Although the Reeves/Bennett combo has been getting a LOT better the last couple of weeks, a healthy Dunta Robinson makes this defense leaps and bounds better. That Minnesota game was the target date to have Dunta starting as of the off-season and I see no reason for that to change now. If anything, that game is going to be the key game for our season....it could end up being what brings us back to .500 at 4-4, if the Texans can take care of business against craptacular Detroit and Cincinnati.

I like Dunta, but player who rely on speed usually aren't super successful their first year back from an ACL injury. And his was pretty severe. I hope he heals faster than most and can help this season. Welcome back Dunta. I also hope your parents have taken a spellling classe.
He's already a fast healer if hes back in practice now. They said on 610 yesterday that he will play Sunday for sure, he just won't be a starter.
That sounds smart. Ease him back, let him get the rust off in small doses before tossing him out there full time again. It'd be wonderful if he's ready for significant playing time vs the Bengals.
Yeah, no point in rushing him back this week, especially against the Lions who no longer have Roy Williams. I would let him play some cover-2 safety this game, then some nickle-back situations the next game, etc. Let him slowly ease back into the fulltime CB spot as the year progresses.
