Cincinnati Bengals inactive players vs. Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2

Bengals announce inactives for Week 2 vs. Chiefs.

The Cincinnati Bengals inactives list against the Kansas City Chiefs features some big names.

As expected, tops among those names is star wide receiver Tee Higgins.

The full inactives list the Bengals issued:

  • WR Tee Higgins
  • DL Kris Jenkins Jr.
  • TE Tanner McLachlan
  • OT Amarius Mims
  • DL Cedric Johnson

Higgins suffered a hamstring injury during the final days before the season opener. More recently, he took the time to shoot back at fans who suggested he’s faking (of course, he isn’t, and no, he didn’t need to address it).

Otherwise, the rest of the inactives list doesn’t offer much in the way of surprises. The interior of the defensive line remains a question mark Jenkins and others down. Tight end Tanner Hudson was doubtful and isn’t listed here, but it’s safe to presume he doesn’t play.

Cincinnati Bengals inactive players vs. New England Patriots in Week 1

Bengals announce inactives for Week 1 vs. Patriots.

One could argue there is no more anticipated inactive list for the 2024 season than the Week 1 report for the Cincinnati Bengals before they take on the New England Patriots.

Thank the wideout position.

The full inactives list the Bengals just issued before kickoff:

  • WR Tee Higgins
  • WR Kendric Pryor
  • Edge Cedric Johnson
  • OT Amarius Mims
  • TE Tanner McLachlan
  • DT Kris Jenkins Jr.

Ja’Marr Chase’s contract drama reigned supreme over the proceedings, especially after that interview session on Friday where he suggested he might play without a contract extension, but in a reduced role. He’s active, so we’ll see how many snaps he plays.

Tee Higgins’ latest hamstring injury wasn’t far behind in terms of attention, though and it will cost him the season opener.

Bengals inactive players vs. Cleveland Browns in Week 18

Bengals announce inactives for Week 18 vs. Browns.

The inactives list for the Cincinnati Bengals before they take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 18 features some major names.

The full inactives list:

  • WR Tee Higgins
  • CB Chidobe Awuzie
  • RB Chris Evans
  • OL Trey Hill
  • OL D’Ante Smith
  • TE Irv Smith
  • DT Travis Bell

Tee Higgins is the biggest name and was doubtful entering this one, so his season ends early before a question-filled offseason that has him slated for free agency.

Also slated for free agency is Chidobe Awuzie and his injury holds him out on Sunday, too.

Tight end Irv Smith Jr. was a healthy scratch recently and is again here, seemingly ending his time in Cincinnati.

Bengals inactive players vs. Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17

Bengals announce inactives for Week 17 vs. Chiefs.

The inactives list for the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 isn’t nearly as dramatic as the week prior.

With Ja’Marr Chase set to play through his injury with the playoffs on the line, things settle into a more routine list for a Bengals team that was pretty healthy this week.

The full inactives list:

  • RB Chris Evans
  • CB Jalen Davis
  • OL Trey Hill
  • OL D’Ante Smith
  • DT Travis Bell

A week ago, tight end Irv Smith Jr. was a healthy scratch as four others got work in Jake Browning’s offense, a sign of where things are at for that room. That changes against the Chiefs on Sunday, with Jalen Davis the notable inactive after being questionable on the final injury report.

Bengals inactive players vs. Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16

Bengals announce inactives for Week 16 vs. Steelers.

The inactives list for the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16 before kickoff against the Pittsburgh Steelers, as expected, features Ja’Marr Chase.

Chase suffered a shoulder injury last week against the Minnesota Vikings and wasn’t able to practice at all this week.

The full inactives list:

  • WR Ja’Marr Chase
  • RB Chris Evans
  • TE Irv Smith Jr.
  • OL Trey Hill
  • LB Devin Harper
  • DL Travis Bell
  • OT D’Ante Smith

While the Bengals wanted to take a day-to-day approach with Chase, a report suggested the star wideout could miss next week’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, too.

As for Sunday’s game against the Steelers, there aren’t any major surprises on the inactives list as the team shuffles around some new names at defensive tackle with roster moves and waiver claims in the wake of DJ Reader’s season-ending injury.

Bengals inactive players vs. Indianapolis Colts in Week 14

Bengals announce inactives for Week 14 vs. Colts.

The inactives list for the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14 against the Indianapolis Colts could have been much worse.

Considering the Bengals listed wideout Tyler Boyd and defensive lineman DJ Reader as questionable on the final injury report, the fact neither of them makes the inactives list is a pretty big win.

The inactives list:

  • RB Chris Evans
  • LB Devin Harper
  • OL Trey Hill
  • OL D’Ante Smith
  • DT Jay Tufele

In other words, it’s a pretty routine week in this area for a Bengals team hoping to keep the slim playoff odds alive.

Offensive tackle D’Ante Smith, also listed as questionable, is once again inactive.

Bengals inactive players vs. Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13

Bengals announce inactives for Week 13 vs. Jaguars.

The inactives list for the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars is about as routine as it gets.

After making roster moves before the game, it’s all backups for the Bengals on the list.

The inactives list:

  • RB Chris Evans
  • LB Devin Harper
  • OL Trey Hill
  • OL D’Ante Smith
  • DT Jay Tufele

Injured cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt would have been on this list after being announced as out, but the team moved him to injured reserve and signed AJ McCarron to the active roster from the practice squad.

Of note is running back, where rookie Chase Brown figures to get more run with Chris Evans out.

Bengals inactive players vs. Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12

Bengals announce inactives for Week 12 vs. Steelers.

The inactives list for the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers features two major starters.

Both wideout Tee Higgins and cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt won’t be able to go in the AFC North matchup due to injuries.

The inactives list:

  • WR Tee Higgins
  • CB Cam Taylor-Britt
  • DL Jay Tufele
  • OL Trey Hill
  • OT D’Ante Smith
  • RB Chris Evans

Higgins continues to rehab a hamstring injury suffered in practice, while CTB wasn’t able to make it back after last week’s quad injury.

Notably, D’Ante Smith was a late addition to the injury report this week. Linebacker Germaine Pratt was a question mark as of Friday due to sickness, but he’s active.

With rookie Chase Brown back on the roster, it’s Chris Evans going to the inactives list.

Bengals inactive players vs. Baltimore Ravens in Week 11

Bengals announce inactives for Week 11 vs. Ravens.

The inactives list for the Cincinnati Bengals is again all about wide receivers before kickoff against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.

There, Tee Higginsis out, as is rookie Andre Iosivas. Defensive end Sam Hubbard remains out, too.

The inactives list:

  • WR Tee Higgins
  • WR Andre Iosivas
  • LB Devin Harper
  • OL Trey Hill
  • OL Jackson Carman
  • DL Sam Hubbard

In a surprising twist, defensive end Trey Hendrickson is good to go. In order to help out the wideout room, the Bengals made roster moves before kickoff, including activating rookie Charlie Jones back to the 53-man roster.

Bengals inactive players vs. Houston Texans in Week 10

Bengals announce inactives for Week 10 vs. Texans.

The inactives list for the Cincinnati Bengals is all about wide receivers this week before kickoff against the Houston Texans.

There, Tee Higgins is out, while Ja’Marr Chase is active after passing an early morning workout.

The inactives list:

  • WR Tee Higgins
  • LB Devin Harper
  • OL Trey Hill
  • DT Josh Tupou
  • OL Jackson Carman
  • DL Sam Hubbard

The Bengals didn’t activate Charlie Jones to the 53-man roster, instead opting to call up two wide receivers from the practice squad to the game. Depth pieces like Trenton Irwin and rookie Andrei Iosivas will get looks in the base offense.

With Hubbard out due to an ankle injury, first-rounder Myles Murphy could get some serious run.
