CINCINNATI -- Tyler Eifert won't be making his debut of the season against Dallas Sunday.

The Bengals TE was still out with back and ankle injuries, the team reported Friday. Eifert injured his ankle in the Pro Bowl and head coach Marvin Lewis reported Eifert's back was hurting earlier this week.

WR James Wright also missed practice Friday and listed as doubtful for Sunday with a hamstring injury.

G Clint Boiling, HB Rex Burkhead and OT Jake Fisher all participated in practice Friday, but were listed as questionable for Sunday with various injuries.

For Dallas, Dez Bryant and Orlando Scandrick missed practice Friday. Tyron Smith had limited participation. All three were listed as questionable, as was Chaz Green, who has started in place of Smith.
