According to Bengals.com editor Geoff Hobson, Cincinnati head coach Marvin Lewis and Jermaine Gresham both have acknowledged that the tight end is "fine."

Although Gresham's status for next week's game has not been decided, according to Hobson, Gresham feels he can play by then.

-- End of Update -- 

Gresham—Cincy's first-round pick in 2010—is coming off a Pro Bowl year where he caught 56 passes for 596 yards and six touchdowns.

The former Oklahoma Sooner served as a tremendous outlet and safety net for rookie quarterback Andy Dalton and the team's passing attack last season.
