Cincinnati Bengals placekicker Austin Seibert will have to wait to get revenge on his former employer.

Days after the Bengals claimed Seibert off waivers, Cincinnati made the 23-year-old inactive for Thursday's game versus the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns parted ways with Seibert following Sunday's 38-6 loss to division foes the Baltimore Ravens. He missed his only extra-point attempt of the contest and also a 41-yard field goal during the season opener.

The Bengals added Seibert to the roster because first-choice Cincinnati kicker Randy Bullock complained of dealing with cramps that he said caused him to miss a game-tying field goal attempt in the closing seconds of Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Bullock was awarded an opportunity to redeem himself at FirstEnergy Stadium on Thursday evening.
