Browns Inactives: No surprises as Myles Garrett, Joe Flacco set to rest vs. Bengals

The Cleveland Browns will close out their regular season against the Cincinnati Bengals without key players like Joe Flacco and Myles Garrett.

While Flacco is active, Jeff Driskel will start with P.J. Walker serving as his backup.

This is not a negative, however, as the Browns have given themselves the luxury of treating this Week 18 matchup as another preseason game. They have already locked down the fifth seed in the AFC and the only thing that matters to the Browns this weekend is whether or not they will play the Houston Texans or the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first round of the playoffs.

Players like defensive tackle Siaki Ika, defensive end Isaiah McGuire, and more will get a chance at a full workload after spending the majority of the season on the inactives list. Can the young players make a statement today?

With the majority of the starters getting another chance to take a break since their Week 5 bye week, here are the inactives for today’s exhibition game against the Bengals.
