The Cincinnati Bengals inactives list for Sunday against the Carolina Panthers once again includes some key starters on the defensive side of the ball.
The full inactives list the Bengals issued:
- TE Tanner McLachlan
- TE Tanner Hudson
- DT BJ Hill
- DT Sheldon Rankins
The Bengals had already confirmed via the final injury report that interior starters Hill and Rankins wouldn’t be able to go. That once again places major pressure on a rookie like Kris Jenkins Jr. and recent free-agent addition Lawrence Guy.
Otherwise, there aren’t many surprises of note. Last week, Jermaine Burton was active over Trenton Irwin after Tee Higgins finally returned, which seemed to say a lot about the rookie. Coaches later commented on Burton’s playing time.
