The Cincinnati Bengals are ready to play the first of two "Thursday Night Football" matchups of the season tonight. Let's see who will NOT suit up against the Baltimore Ravens.

Here are the Bengals' Week 10 inactives

  • OT Orlando Brown Jr.
  • WR Tee Higgins
  • ED Cedric Johnson
  • WR Charlie Jones
  • TE Tanner McLachlan
  • RB Kendall Milton

NFL Media's Cameron Wolfe reported earlier Thursday that Brown (knee/fibula) would not play despite practicing this week. Higgins (quad) and Jones were doubtful and did not practice this week. 

McLachlan figured to have a chance to be active this week with tight end Erick All Jr. going to the Reserve/Injured list, but it will be another rookie tight end to take All's spot. Cam Grandy was elevated off the practice squad today along with offensive tackle Devin Cochran to provide depth at those positions. 

Wolfe also reported that defensive tackle B.J. Hill (rib) will play and that appears to be the case with him not listed among the inactives. Head coach Zac Taylor spoke optimistically about Hill's injury after he missed more than half of Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Newly-acquired running back Khalil Herbert is active tonight while rookie Kendall Milton is not. Quarterback Joe Burrow talked this week about getting Herbert ready to play just two days after he was traded from the Chicago Bears. 

"Yeah. I think so," Burrow said of getting Herbert on the same page so quickly. "We'll find out, I guess, but football is football for the most part. You know, a couple new languages, but he's right there next to me, so I can tell him what do when he's out there. We'll see how much he ends up playing, but I'm confident that we can get him right."

Herbert may not play as many snaps tonight as he will in the weeks to come, but don't be surprised to see him spell Chase Brown.
