The Cincinnati Bengals are favorites on a cold Sunday in Paycor Stadium against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Let's see who will NOT suit up for the orange and black in a must-win game.
Here are the Bengals' Week 13 inactives
- WR Trenton Irwin
- WR Charlie Jones
- TE Tanner McLachlan
- DT Sheldon Rankins
- LB Logan Wilson
Rankins was declared out on Friday. He missed Cincinnati's last game in Week 11 with an illness and is still away from the team. Rookies Kris Jenkins Jr. and McKinnley Jackson will take Rankins' snaps next to starter B.J. Hill while Jay Tufele rounds out the interior rotation.
Wilson (knee) missed practice all week but was listed as questionable on the final injury report. He'll now miss his first game since Week 7 of the 2022 season after appearing in 40 consecutive games (postseason included) since then. Akeem Davis-Gaither, who was drafted one round after Wilson back in 2020, is expected to start in Wilson's place. Rookie Maema Njongmeta, who's taken 16 snaps this year. may also see some playing time throughout the game.
Jones (groin) was listed as doubtful Friday. He was a limited participant during Wednesday and Thursday's practices, and did not practice Friday. He'll now miss his fourth consecutive game. Irwin has been Jones' replacement as punt returner, but that job looks to be Isaiah Williams' today. Williams, who was claimed last month off waivers, will make his Bengals debut.
