The Bengals might be on the verge of getting linebacker Odell Thurman re-instated for the 2007 season.  This would really help the Bengals if Thurman is focused and starts behaving himself off of the football field.  Thurman was outstanding as a rookie as he played in all 16 games in 2005 and he made 98 tackles, had 1.5 sacks, 5 interceptions (1 returned for a TD), defensed 4 passes, forced 4 fumbles and recovered a fumble.  Thurman is a big-time playmaker and that’s something the Bengals defense missed last season.
