It's a strong possibility backup quarterback Andy Dalton will start if Winston cannot play Sunday.

Also, safety Marcus Maye was at practice but not participating in drills, per Hendrix.

On Thursday, offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael gave Andy Dalton a vote of confidence in his post-practice comments to media.
