Left tackle Levi Jones had arthroscopic surgery Monday morning to repair a cartilage tear in his right knee.
"I would say right now he's at least doubtful to out," coach Marvin Lewis said. "There is a chance he could play this week. It's a matter of how much swelling there is."
Jones suffered a torn meniscus - the crescent-shaped cartilage between the femur and tibia bones - during the game Sunday at Baltimore.
If Jones is out, Scott Rehberg is expected to start. Rehberg went in for Jones midway through the third quarter against the Ravens, was beaten for two of Baltimore's six sacks and flagged for two illegal motion penalties.
Another possibility could be to move right tackle Willie Anderson to left tackle and play Victor Leyva at right tackle.
