In addition to free safety Ed Reed being active for today's season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, rookie Ray Rice will start at tailback in place of Willis McGahee. McGahee, who has been limited in practice all week after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee last month, is dressed, but Rice, who averaged 5.6 yards per carry in four preseason games, will get the start.

Defensive tackle Justin Bannan will start in place of Kelly Gregg (arthroscopic knee surgery). Rookie kickoff specialist Steven Hauschka is also active. Troy Smith, who hasn't played in the last three weeks due to a tonsil infection, is listed as the emergency (No. 3) quarterback.

Four-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Willie Anderson, who signed a three-year, $11 million deal with the Ravens on Friday, is inactive and will not play. Joining Anderson and Gregg on the inactive list are cornerback Evan Oglesby, rookie offensive linemen Oniel Cousins and David Hale, rookie wide receiver Marcus Smith (separated right shoulder) and rookie linebacker Tavares Gooden.
