Bengals head coach Zac Taylor just dropped a bomb on Friday: star wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are both officially listed as questionable for this weekend’s matchup against the Dolphins. Talk about a gut punch before a big game.
Chase, as you know, has been stuck in the concussion protocol. The team’s saying he’ll likely be out there if he gets cleared on Saturday, but come on, “likely” isn’t “guaranteed,” and the clock is ticking. Higgins is also hobbled, dealing with an adductor injury. So you’ve got two of your absolute top weapons in doubt against a hungry Dolphins team. What do you even do there?
If these guys can’t go, or are even limited, Cincinnati’s wideout depth is going to be tested big time. We’re talking Dohnte Meyers, Mitchell Tinsley, and Colbie Young. And get this: Young is *also* questionable himself, battling a knee injury. It’s a full-on injury pile-up in that receiving corps. Plus, it’s not just the offense, either; safety Bryan Cook is questionable with an ankle injury after missing last Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars, though he did get back to practice on Thursday.
So, yeah, it’s a messy situation for the Bengals. They’re going into this Dolphins game with some major questions about who’s even gonna be on the field, especially at wide receiver. This weekend is gonna be a serious test of their depth and grit.
