Jones 'ready to play' despite not practicing, Lewis says
Bengals notebook

Left tackle Levi Jones did not practice Friday but "is ready to play," coach Marvin Lewis said.
Still, Jones remains doubtful on the team's injury report.
Scott Rehberg is expected to start at left tackle Sunday against San Francisco, but Jones could be one of Lewis' options.
Jones was the only player not practicing. The 49ers have three cornerbacks on their injury report. They added starting right corner Jason Webster (chest) on Friday as questionable. Right corner Ahmed Plummer (ankle, back) and backup Mike Rumph (foot) remain probable.
ON THE LOOKOUT: The Bengals have learned that several fans fell victim to a counterfeit ticket scheme during the last home game, Nov. 16, against Kansas City.
In an attempt to curb such problems for the game Sunday against the 49ers, the Bengals have increased law enforcement around the stadium and are warning fans to be wary of any tickets not directly purchased at the Bengals ticket office or through TicketMaster.
Fans are advised to call the Bengals ticket office at 621-8383 with questions or concerns.
ONE MORE: San Francisco coach Dennis Erickson also has a connection to Bengals wide receivers coach Alex Wood. Wood was on Erickson's staffs at Miami (Fla.), Wyoming and Washington State.
