Bengals declared WR Trenton Irwin, CB Trae Waynes, CB Nick McCloud, OG D’Ante Smith, OT Fred Johnson, and DT Tyler Shelvin inactive against the Bears.
CB Darius Phillips and LB Markus Bailey were listed as questionable, but both will play against Chicago. Waynes still hasn’t appeared in a game for Cincinnati despite signing a $42 million deal last summer. Allen Robinson and Darnell Mooney draw a nice matchup against a below-average Bengals secondary.
