CLEVELAND _ Long snapper Clark Harris missed his third straight game Sunday when the Bengals opted to put Tyler Ott into the 27-degree AFC North grind job at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
Harris (groin) joined the five injured players on the inactive list with rookie guard Christian Westerman. That meant rookie quarterback Jeff Driskekl was active for the first time this season. On a day that began spitting snow, the Bengals had one more wide receiver active (four) than quarterbacks.
Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green (hamstring) was inactive for the third straight game and while he didn’t work out before Sunday’s game he made the trip and there is some optimism that he’ll be ready to play next week against Pittsburgh at Paul Brown Stadium.
