Coach Marvin Lewis refused to talk about suspended linebacker Odell Thurman on Tuesday, another indication that he has written him out of the Cincinnati Bengals' plans. Thurman was suspended for the season because he violated the NFL's substance abuse policy. He can apply to the league for reinstatement before next season. "Odell is not a member of this football team," Lewis said Tuesday. "He's on suspension by the NFL. He's got a long road to go. I'm not even going to spend any time talking about Odell. "We're talking about our '07 season. He's not part of this football team. We don't need to talk about it."
