Bengals’ receiver depth tested as Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins deal with injuries
Cincinnati Bengals' Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins missed Wednesday's practice and are labeled as "day to day" for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Chase is in the concussion protocol, while Higgins has an adductor injury. The team's receiver depth is being put to the test as a result. Andrei Iosivas, their third receiver, is on injured reserve with a thumb injury, and Colbie Young, their fourth receiver, is battling a knee injury.
Mitchell Tinsley and Dohnte Meyers are the Bengals' top two healthy receivers at the moment. Taylor is confident in the team's ability to handle the situation and emphasize the players who are expected to be available. Meyers, who had limited playing time in the past, made two significant catches in the fourth quarter last week.
Tinsley, who was traded to the Houston Texans' practice squad previously, re-signed with the Bengals after the injuries to Iosivas and Young. If Young is unable to play, the Bengals may rely more on their tight end depth and count on Mike Gesicki and Tanner Hudson to contribute in the passing game.
