Unlike the last few weeks, there was a little more concern than usual for the Cincinnati Bengals inactives list ahead of the team’s Week 3 game against the New York Jets.
The team announced the following inactives:

- G Jackson Carman
- OT D’Ante Smith
- TE Drew Sample
- HB Trayveon Williams
- LB Germaine Pratt
- DT Jay Tufele
There was some mild concern with right tackle La’el Collins, who effectively didn’t practice all week while nursing a back injury.
Ditto for tight end Hayden Hurst, who appeared to suffer a setback on Friday and was questionable for the contest.
Even though both guys are active, it will be a point of note to see how they perform. Collins has to deal with the likes of Carl Lawson after a few rough games and Hurst headlines a position that has been ravaged by injuries.
