Kitna Given the Bengals’ Starting Job

Three consecutive games, three starting quarterbacks for the NFL’s worst team.

Coach Dick LeBeau informed the Cincinnati Bengals (0-4) on Wednesday that he has decided to start Jon Kitna and stick with him for the rest of the season.

Gus Frerotte started in a 30-3 loss at Atlanta, and Akili Smith went the distance in a 35-7 loss to Tampa Bay on Sunday. Kitna will make his first start Sunday at Indianapolis.

“Coach LeBeau stood in front of the team today and said this is the guy he’s going with and we’re going to sink or swim,” Kitna said.

“Now, it doesn’t matter if you like me or not, I’m going to be in there, so we might as well get along.”

Kitna started 15 games last season, when he finished as the NFL’s lowest-rated passer. He lost the starting job to Frerotte in training camp.

A neurologist’s exam confirmed that Green Bay receiver Terry Glenn has post-traumatic migraine headaches, caused probably by a hit he took in the season opener.

Glenn apparently will try a different medicine for the headaches that limited him to the first half of Green Bay’s 17-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers Sunday.

He had the exam in New York Tuesday. The Packers list him as questionable for the game at Chicago Monday.

New York Jet Coach Herman Edwards said he would rotate players at several spots, including middle linebacker, cornerback, safety and guard.

The Jets have given up 133 points.

“Rotate? What does that mean? It doesn’t matter. It won’t change my perspective I take to the game,” starting middle linebacker Marvin Jones said.

Buffalo Bill defensive tackle Tyrone Robertson was suspended for four games by the NFL for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. Neither the team nor the league would not give any details.
