As expected the Bengals deactivated injured starting safety George Iloka and third-year man Shawn Williams figured to make his first NFL start in his place during Sunday’s game against the Chiefs at Paul Brown Stadium.
Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis also opted to sit defensive tackle Brandon Thompson in favor of Pat Sims even though Thompson contributed some strong plays in last week’s win in Baltimore. But Sims also played well in the first two games before he injured his hip against the Chargers and had to sit out last week.
