Baltimore's Pro Bowl offensive lineman Marshal Yanda is listed as inactive for this week's game against Cincinnati. Yanda has been out with a sprained ankle, and did not practice this week.

In fact, the team intends to rest some players this week:

The Ravens had a number of other game-time injury decisions. Defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, who did not practice this week due to a knee injury, is inactive. Fullback Vonta Leach, another Pro Bowl selection, is active despite being limited in practice this week with an ankle injury. Wide receiver Anquan Boldin is inactive with a shoulder problem that limited him in practice this week. Ray Lewis remains inactive, in line with previous statements that he will wait until the playoffs to return. Terrell Suggs and Bernard Pollard are also being held out of action.
