Inactives 10/9

[*pally*]

so much for activating CTB

Bengals WR Tee Higgins and TE Hayden Hurst are both active today.

Tyler Shelvin is active over DT Jay Tufele as the Bengals prioritize a run stopping DT.

Here’s the inactive group

CB Cam Taylor Britt
RB Trayveon Williams
OT D’Ante Smith
OG Jackson Carman
DT Jay Tufele

That stinks, yet doubt he would have seen much time this game anyway

I still don't understand why the Bengals carry 4 RBs. Williams has only been active in 5 of the 26 games since the start of 2021, playing a grand total of 36 offensive snaps (24 of which came in Week 18 last year, the backup game). A guy who is almost always a healthy scratch just seems pointless. It's not like a 4th RB isn't something you can't just find on a PS or the street, either.

Just seems like a weird roster construction aspect that always bugged me a bit.

Interesting that we activated Shelvin from the Practice Squad for the game but then have Tufele as inactive.

I think that when more guys come off IR (Kareem, Prince, Harris, Andersen, etc) those two guys may be fighting for 1 roster spot while DJ is out. If Shelvin plays well enough, he may just claim in outright and Tufele may get released (with the hope he clears waivers).

Did Shelvin even get in the game last night?

Not that I saw, we all want to see this kid do well but he has struggled his first 2 years in the League.

I didn't see him nor did I hear his name. Same with Higgins.

He played 9 snaps

When Jonah went down I briefly thought Carman may come in to replace him, but then I remembered he was inactive. I wonder if Jonah has to miss any time, they may try and work Carman into that spot. He may do better, since that is his natural/college position. Adeniji just looked BAD and got away with a few holds.
