Gametime is almost here! And as tradition goes, NFL teams release their inactives 90 minutes before the opening kickoff. And for the Cleveland Browns, this means they have announced five players who will not suit up in this game. This list is headlined by starting safety Juan Thornhill, who entered the matchup questionable after dealing with a calf injury all week. Rookie defensive tackle Siaki Ika is also listed as a healthy scratch.
Thornhill, despite an interception returned for a touchdown against his old team in the preseason finale, will have to wait a week to make his regular season debut with the Browns after testing his calf out pregame.

However, when playing heavy 11-personnel teams that like to throw the football all over the field, Ika does not give much support against the pass. He too will have to wait at least a week to make his NFL debut.
Here is the full list of inactives as the Browns take on the Bengals.
