The Cincinnati Bengals will be without defensive linemen Sheldon Rankins and BJ Hill for their upcoming game due to hamstring injuries. As a result, rookies Kris Jenkins and Amarius Mims are set to make their NFL debuts, while newly signed Lawrence Guy will also see his first action with the team.

In addition to the injuries, several players including Trenton Irwin and Jaxson Kirkland will be inactive. The team's struggling performance in recent games has raised questions about their strategy and offensive capabilities.
