12/27/2006 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cincinnati Bengals center Rich Braham is apparently ready to call it a career.
Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis made the announcement at his Wednesday news conference.
Braham suffered a knee injury in the second game of the season and has not played since. The Bengals will hold a pregame ceremony for the 13-year veteran before Sunday's season-finale against Pittsburgh.
The 36-year-old West Virginia product was a third-round pick by Arizona in the 1994 draft, but he never played for the Cardinals and appeared in three games for the Bengals late in the '94 season.
After an ankle injury in the preseason cut short his 1995 campaign, Braham became a mainstay in the lineup at the start of the '96 season. He has started 142 of the 146 games he has played for the Bengals.
Braham, this year, became the seventh Bengal to play at least 13 years with the franchise, joining quarterback Ken Anderson (1971-86), cornerback Ken Riley (1969-83), linebacker Reggie Williams (1976-89), kicker Jim Breech (1980-92), and offensive linemen Joe Walter (1985-97) and Anthony Munoz (1980-92).

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
