The Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals released their list of inactives for their Thursday night game. Browns receiver Andrew Hawkins will surprisingly not play. 

The Cleveland Browns will be without their top receiver on Thursday night as they face the Cincinnati Bengals. The Browns listed wide receiver Andrew Hawkins as one of their seven inactives for the Week 10 contest.

Hawkins was listed as questionable for the game, but many reports suggested the wideout would play. Hawkins suffered the thigh/knee injury in Cleveland’s game last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Hawkins has 39 catches for 504 yards and a touchdown this season.

On the other side, running back Giovani Bernard highlights the Bengals’ inactives. Bernard, who is dealing with a hip injury, was expected to miss the contest.

Cincy will roll with Jeremy Hill as their starting running back again. Hill started in place of Bernard last Sunday and rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Thursday night’s contest is set for an 8:25 p.m. ET start on NFL Network.
