Not as crazy as it could have been. Now the real question is how much some of those active players will play

#Bengals inactives vs Browns:

QB Joe Burrow
K Evan McPherson
WR Tee Higgins
DT D.J. Reader
LB Logan Wilson
CB Jalen Davis
DE Cam Sample

I'd say that's pretty damn crazy.

So no FG attempts today, and who kicks off?

Elliott Fry I believe will be kicking today.

Kevin Huber is going to do a free kick every time they need to kick off  

or most likely, since they activated him, Elliott Fry, the PS kicker will handle kicking duties.  McPherson was hurt...let him rest while he can

I never saw anything about Fry being on the active roster, so that makes more sense.

I also never knew McP was injured, so get him healed ASAP as we're gonna need him!

do PS players get paid more when they get activated?

We need to beat the Stains anyway. Just because.

Yes.

Quote:If a practice squad player is promoted to the active roster, he earns the prorated minimum salary for a player with his years of experience. So a rookie called up to the active roster ahead of a game would see his pay increased from $9,200 to over $36,000. A player with seven-plus years of experience would earn over $59K.

A practice squad player actually being signed to an active roster comes with a guarantee of three game checks.

yes they do....they get the prorated minimum salary for their length of service.  So a rookie who makes $9600 on the PS will make around $36,000 for being active on gameday

Surprised Wilson and Higgins traveled if they were going to be inactive,

Vonn Bell, Hendrickson, Hopkins, Spain, Mixon, Hill, and Ogunjobi are all still on the virus list too.

I assume Tee isn't playing to rest for the playoffs and there isn't an significant injury to worry about?

looks like the starting OL is

Smith (LT), Carman (LG), Trey Hill ©, Hakeem Adeniji (RG), Isaiah Prince (RT).

The first team defensive linemen in warmups are Khalid Kareem and Wyatt Ray at defensive end and Josh Tupou and Mike Daniels at defensive tackle.

Also based on pregame warmups, it looks like Markus Bailey and Clay Johnston are starting at linebacker.

Plus, all of the starters in the secondary were the backups: Flowers, Waynes, Hargreaves, Allen and Thomas.

So Chase is active to break Chad's record?

Then they'll pull him?

Also, will be nice to get Trae Waynes and some of these guys PT in case we need them.

Ouch. We’re gonna get spanked.
