The Cincinnati Bengals need one more win for a chance at the playoffs. Let's see who will NOT suit up for Cincinnati against the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight.

Here are the Bengals' Week 18 inactives

  • RB Chase Brown
  • WR Jermaine Burton
  • ED Sam Hubbard
  • WR Charlie Jones
  • TE Tanner McLachlan
  • OT Andrew Stueber
  • ED Isaiah Thomas

Brown was the big name to watch here. The second-year running back suffered a high-ankle sprain last Saturday against the Denver Broncos and missed both of the team's practices this week along with Tuesday's walkthrough. He was set to be a game-time decision and tested out his ankle before kickoff. The team has decided to sit him for tonight. 

Brown was at 990 rushing yards entering tonight, so he'll fall just short of 1,000. He still registered 1,350 total yards from scrimmage on the year.

Burton didn't travel with the team due to Zac Taylor's decision. Hubbard will miss his third consecutive game with a torn PCL. He was declared out on Thursday. 

Right tackle Amarius Mims will play despite a broken right hand he suffered two weeks ago. He only played 30 snaps last week due to the injury, but will try to play through it tonight.

Jones was listed as questionable but he will miss yet another game. He hasn't played since Week 8 due to his groin injury.

McLachlan and Stueber are both healthy scratches.
