I don't view the o-line scenario as a panic-worthy thing just yet.  Every line in the division that isn't Cleveland is a dumpster fire.  Reiff and Hopkins were both game time decisions, so that's hardly any indication that they are done for any significant period of time.  TBH, they settled down a bit after the first half until the wheels came off in obvious passing situations in the 4th.  That officiating crew is notorious for throwing ticky-tack flags and both the Bengals and the Chargers got to experience that fact first hand yesterday.

This team, even with yesterday's injuries are doing pretty well health-wise for going into week 14.

The intended starters were Waynes, Awuzie, and Hilton.
Any other CB on the roster is technically depth, so if they're playing any meaningful snaps, it's because of injury.
You can't (or shouldn't) expect the depth is going to perform as the same or better level than the intended starters.

So if we're looking at which of the intended starters are out:
- Waynes
- Wilson
- XSF
- Maybe Awuzie
- Maybe Hopkins
- Maybe Reiff
