Andre Smith full go; Mike Johnson sits out Thursday with back issue

Two starters also returned to full action, right tackle Andre Smith (concussion) and left end Carlos Dunlap (shoulder), as well as special teams ace and backup safety Shawn Williams (ankle). Another starter, WILL backer Vontaze Burfict (knee), went limited.

It looks like they won’t have rotational defensive tackle Pat Sims (knee) for Sunday’s game (8:30 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 5) in Arizona. He didn’t appear for the second straight day, which means they may be going again with Brandon Thompson. They’ve basically played the same amount with Sims playing in five games and Thompson four this season.
