Seahawks vs. Bengals lineup notes

SEATTLE

Inactives: CB Tye Smith, RB Marshawn Lynch, CB Marcus Burley, LB Kevin Pierre-Louis, C/G Kristjan Sokoli, G/T Alvin Bailey, DE Demarcus Dobbs.

Notes: Lynch (hamstring) and Burley (thumb) were ruled out earlier in the week. Smith (hip), Pierre-Louis (hamstring) and Dobbs (shoulder) were all listed as doubtful, and none of them are able to make it back. RB Fred Jackson (ankle), who was questionable, will give it a go, but the Seahawks also signed RB Rod Smith from their practice squad just in case. CB Tharold Simon (toe) was placed on injured reserve to make room for Smith on the 53-man roster. DT Brandon Mebane (groin) and FS Steven Terrell (hip) return from their injuries. G Mark Glowinski is active in place of Bailey, which is notable because Bailey sent out a tweet earlier this week suggesting dissatisfaction with his role in Seattle.

CINCINNATI

Inactives: WR Greg Little, WR Mario Alford, CB Chris Lewis-Harris, TE C.J. Uzomah, DT Marcus Hardison, DT Pat Sims, DE Margus Hunt.

Notes: The Bengals are at 100 percent. The only starter who was on the injury list, SS George Iloka (ankle), is active. So is the only other player who was listed as questionable, back-up DE Wallace Gilberry (calf).
