Bengals | Shuffling QB Depth Chart

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said QB Shane Matthews has been promoted to the second-string position behind starting QB Jon Kitna because the team feels Matthews is better equipped to handle the pressure than rookie QB Carson Palmer. With the team in the playoff hunt, the team feels more comfortable with Matthews as the top backup. Rookie QB Carson Palmer has been demoted to third-string, but Lewis said it had no reflection on Palmer's progress, as he has been doing well in practice.
