Atlanta Falcons cornerback Dunta Robinson is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, who are without defensive backs Roy Williams and Johnathan Joseph.

Christopher Owens is starting for Robinson, who suffered a concussion on his hit on Philadelphia receiver DeSean Jackson last week. Robinson is appealing his $50,000 fine from the league for the hit.

Atlanta rookie outside linebacker Sean Weatherspoon is missing his second straight game with a sprained right knee.

Chinedum Ndukwe is starting at safety for Williams, who is missing his second straight game with a knee injury. Adam ''Pacman'' Jones is starting for Joseph, who was limited in practice by an ankle injury.

The Bengals also are without running back Brian Leonard (thigh), and defensive tackle Pat Sims (knee).
