CINCINNATI -- Andy Dalton will run out of the tunnel at the south end of Paul Brown Stadium -- the one he used to access the X-ray machine eight months ago -- in a big moment for Bengals fans. For the quarterback? Not so much.Dalton will get back into a game on Friday night for the first time since Dec. 13, when he broke his right thumb while making a tackle during a Steelers interception return. Hes expected to play a few series against the Minnesota Vikings, coached by former Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.Itll be a full-circle moment for the Bengals, getting back one of the leagues top quarterbacks of 2015. Dalton isnt attaching too much significance to it.It will be nice to be back out there, but I dont even think about it anymore, Dalton said Thursday, following a joint practice with the Vikings. Theres been no residual (problem) from the thumb, so its just another preseason game for me.Dalton was one of the NFLs top passers when he got hurt, enjoying his breakout season. His passer rating of 106.3 set a club record and was second only to Seattles Russell Wilson (110.1) for the league lead. When he left the field for an X-ray and returned wearing a cast, one of the Bengals best seasons had reached a turning point.When that happened, I was seated next to my brother and I just looked at him and said, `Thats it, owner Mike Brown said. I knew what it meant. Yet we did remarkably well even though we were operating without our key guy. As we went on after that I was very proud of the team, the way it responded.AJ McCarron led the Bengals to victories in two of their last three regular-season games, completing a 12-win season that matched the club record. He had them ahead in the closing minutes of a home playoff game against Pittsburgh, but the defense imploded -- personal fouls on linebacker Vontaze Burfict and cornerback Adam Pacman Jones moved the Steelers into range for the winning field goal.Dalton will be back with a few newcomers on Friday night.The Bengals lost receivers Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu to free agency. They signed Brandon LaFell and drafted Tyler Boyd, who was impressive during practice on Thursday against the Vikings, catching several passes from Dalton.Its been real fun to compete against different guys, just to see how my talent excels, Boyd said. You always want to go against different teams to see how much better youve gotten during camp.Coach Marvin Lewis said the second-round pick has been a bright spot during camp.Tylers exceeded my expectations at things, Lewis said. Hes really done the things we expected him to do. Hes taken it, grasped it and run with it.The other significant change is at right tackle, where Cedric Ogbuehi -- Cincinnatis top pick last season -- takes over for Andre Smith, who signed with Minnesota as a free agent. Smith and Lewis spent a few minutes on the field after practice Thursday catching up.Theres no hard feelings, Smith said. I feel like I had a good opportunity in Minnesota.The Bengals also will be without starting tight end Tyler Eifert, who is recovering from ankle surgery and hasnt been cleared to practice.Game notes Lewis declined to stay who would be held out of the game, other than Burfict. Lewis will sit Burfict during the preseason, allowing the rest of the linebackers to settle into roles without him. Burfict has a three-game suspension from the league to start the season. ... DT Andrew Billings, a fourth-round pick, suffered a knee injury during practice Wednesday and was carted off. Lewis said Thursday there was no further information about his recovery timetable.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Jusuf Nurkic Jersey .
