The Cincinnati Bengals will look to sweep the Cleveland Browns for the first time since 2017. Let's see who will NOT suit up for the home team in the latest "Battle of Ohio."

Here are the Bengals' Week 16 inactives

  • OT Orlando Brown Jr.
  • ED Sam Hubbard
  • WR Tanner Hudson
  • WR Charlie Jones
  • DT Sheldon Rankins
  • QB Logan Woodside

Hubbard, Hudson, and Rankins were declared out on Friday. Hubbard and Hudson each have knee injuries that could cause them to miss the rest of the regular season. Rankins has now missed five consecutive games with a viral illness. Rookie tight end Tanner McLachlan is active for the first time in his NFL career today with Hudson out.

Brown, who was limited in Friday's practice and listed as questionable to play, has been working back from his fibula injury and will miss his third consecutive game and sixth of the season. He originally suffered his injury during the Bengals' first game against the Browns back in Week 7. Cody Ford is expected to take his spot at left tackle after missing last week with an illness.

The Bengals will only be down one o-lineman as right guard Alex Cappa passed through the concussion protocol this weekend and will play. He missed five snaps last week and was a limited participant throughout practice this week.

Jones was listed as questionable but he will miss yet another game. He hasn't played since Week 8 due to his groin injury. Woodside is the team's emergency third QB.
