Raiders vs Bengals inactives: Aldon Smith is ACTIVE

The inactives are out for the Raiders and Bengals and the one name that is noticeably NOT among them is recently signed pass rusher, Aldon Smith. The NFL has not decided whether to suspend him for a DUI arrest he had this offseason which led to his release from the 49ers, making him eligible to play today. The Raiders signed him on Friday and he has attended one practice.

Here are all of the inactives for both teams:

Raiders

WR  Brice Butler
CB  Dexter McDonald
RB  Roy Helu Jr
OL  Jon Feliciano
OL  Matt McCants
TE  Gabe Holmes
DE  Benson Mayowa

Benson Mayowa has a knee injury and was ruled OUT for the game on the team's injury report.

With Roy Helu Jr inactive, the team's primary backup behind Latavius Murray will be Taiwan Jones. They also have Marcel Reece who should get some carries.

Bengals

WR  Greg Little
WR  Mario Alford
CB  Josh Shaw
TE  C.J. Uzomah
DT  Marcus Hardison
DT  Brandon Thompson
DE  Margus Hunt
