The Cincinnati Bengals entered Week 5 with some big questions on the injury front, with four starters listed as questionable for this must-win game against the Arizona Cardinals. Two of them are inactive today.
Rookie second-round pick DJ Turner is expected to get the start for Chidobe Awuzie, who injured his back Thursday and did not practice Friday.
At receiver, Trenton Irwin likely will get the call for Tee Higgins (ribs), but rookie sixth-round pick Andrei Iosivas could see his most extensive action thus far.

Defensive end Trey Hendrickson (back) and cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt (concussion) are active despite being listed as questionable.
Also of note, Jackson Carman is active for the first time this season while D’Ante Smith is not, which sheds some lights on where those two stand in the pecking order among backup offensive lineman.
