Cincinnati Bengals Inactives

Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Khalil Mack is officially inactive for the Week 11 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mack is dealing with a foot injury that he suffered in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers. This is a big loss for the Chargers' defense, as Mack is one of their best pass rushers. The Chargers will need to rely on Joey Bosa and other players to step up in Mack's absence.
The Bengals will also be without a few key players on defense. Cornerback Tre Flowers is dealing with a hamstring injury, while defensive tackle Jay Tufele is out with a knee injury. These are both significant losses for the Bengals' defense, as Flowers is a starting cornerback and Tufele is a key part of their defensive line rotation.
The Chargers and Bengals are both 5-4 heading into this matchup. The Chargers are coming off a win over the 49ers, while the Bengals are coming off a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is a big game for both teams, as they are both looking to improve their playoff positioning.
