Kitna says hello to old teammates

DETROIT -- In the pre-game warmups at Ford Field, former Bengals quarterback Jon Kitna -- now with the Lions -- has been visiting with former Bengals teammates on the field.

Kitna and his former understudy, Carson Palmer, played catch for a few minutes, beginning about 5:15 p.m. Then they repeated a warmup game they used to play, throwing from the 20-yard line and aiming for the crossbar on the goal post. Kitna won repeatedly in the five-ball toss.

Kitna greeted several Bengal coaches and players with hugs, including wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh and assistants Ken Zampese and Jonathan Hayes. Coach Marvin Lewis also went up and greeted Kitna on the field.

Chad legs it out

DETROIT _ It looked like old times before Thursday night's preseason opener with Carson Palmer and Jon Kitna sharing passing lanes during warmups. Except, of course, here at Ford Field the big difference is that Kitna is wearing Lions' blue and Palmer had on his Bengals' grays.

They chatted a bit in between, some of which were Palmer's tosses to Chad Johnson and Johnson looked like he was suffering no ill effects of the ankle he sprained this past Monday in practice.

But there was no word yet Marvin Lewis was going to hold him out.

I don't really care if we get beat. Preseason scores don't mean anything. I just want to see (A) no injuries and (B) some back-ups and young guys play well.
