Cincinnati Bengals rookie receiver Colbie Young is officially out for the team’s Week 4 showdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Paycor Stadium. This is a tough pill to swallow for the Bengals faithful, especially with the team getting ready to battle the Jaguars.
Coach Taylor Keeps It Close to the Vest
Head coach Zac Taylor dropped the news on September 28, confirming Young’s absence. What’s even more concerning is Taylor’s additional comment: the team is still “getting more information about Young’s injury.” That’s not exactly the update you want to hear about a key young player so early in the season, is it?
When Disaster Struck for Young
Young’s knee injury actually happened back in Week 3. He went down during the first quarter of their loss to the Steelers. That game was played at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. Losing him mid-game was already a blow, but now knowing he’s sidelined for another week just compounds the frustration.
So, the Bengals will be without their rookie receiver when they face the Jacksonville Jaguars. All eyes are on what more information Coach Taylor’s staff will reveal about Young’s knee in the coming days. Cincinnati needs him back, and healthy, sooner rather than later.
