Bengals rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton is also inactive. He didn't travel with the team to Pittsburgh, despite being healthy.

Rookie right tackle Amarius Mims (broken hand) is active. He started last week, but didn't finish the game. Cody Ford took reps at right tackle in practice this week.
