The other inactive players for the Raiders are linebacker Benson Mayowa, receiver Brice Butler, cornerback Dexter McDonald, running back Roy Helu Jr., offensive linemen Jon Feliciano and Matt McCants and tight end Gabe Holmes.

The inactive players for the Bengals are receivers Greg Little and Mario Alford; cornerback Josh Shaw; tight end C.J. Uzomah; defensive linemen Marcus Hardison, Brandon Thompson and Margus Hunt.
