The Cincinnati Bengals inactives include tight ends Jermaine Gresham and Tyler Eifert. Combined, the two tight ends have caught 85 passes and are both close to going over the 500-yard receiving mark. Eifert has 445 yards in his rookie year;, and Gresham has 461 in his fourth year.
They will also be without starting cornerback Terence Newman, meaning it will once again be up to Dre Kirkpatrick to step up and hold the fort down for one more week.
