For the Bengals, here is who will sit out today.

Coming into the game, the Bengals’ only players uncertain to play were tight end Drew Sample (illness), backup guard Jackson Carman (illness), and backup linebacker Joe Bachie (oblique).

The fourth-year Bachie, who primarily plays on special teams, was listed as questionable to play and is inactive today.

  • QB Josh Dobbs (emergency QB)
  • WR Jalen Nailor
  • OT Brian O’Neill
  • OG Chris Reed

The Vikings entered the day with two players listed as questionable to play in star wideout Justin Jefferson (chest) and backup offensive guard Chris Reed (illness). Jefferson will play, while Reed is out.

Starting right tackle Brian O’Neil (ankle) and backup wideout Jalen Nailor (concussion) were previously ruled out.

In other news, Josh Dobbs is the emergency third QB behind starter Nick Mullens and backup Jaren Hall.
