The Cincinnati Bengals inactives list for “Sunday Night Football” against the New York Giants in Week 6 isn’t nearly as rough as prior weeks.
With names like Sheldon Rankins on the way back to the field, things have settled down on this front for the Bengals.
The full inactives list the Bengals issued:
- DE Cedric Johnson
- OL Andrew Steuber
- WR Jermaine Burton
- TE Tanner McLachlan
- DT Jay Tufele
- DT Lawrence Guy
Keep in mind that starting cornerback Dax Hill is out for the season, which will put former second-round pick DJ Turner into a starting role opposite Cam Taylor-Britt.
Jermaine Burton is a mild surprise there, but he’s playing limited with Tee Higgins back. The staff might simply prefer Trenton Irwin’s abilities on special teams as depth by comparison.
