Katula expected to play

Long snapper Matt Katula's sore elbow is not expected to prevent him from playing Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Katula practiced today after sitting out Wednesday's and Thursday's sessions, but he is listed as probable on the team's injury report. Coach John Harbaugh said when he was an assistant coach with the Cincinnati Bearcats in 1991, kicker David Rowe had to replace the usual long snapper. "We had to go into a game one time where the long snapper was the kicker," Harbaugh recalled. "He was the kicker for kicks and the long snapper for punts. They went after him. He survived. Dave Rowe. If you’re out there, Dave, this is a shout. You did good. I think it was against Penn State, too." After a pause, Harbaugh added, "That will not be the case in this game."
